"Archimantis monstrosa" is 1 of 10 species in the genus "Archimantis". "A. monstrosa", or monster mantis, reaches a length of up to 130mm. It can live longer than the more common species, "Archimantis latistyla", and will eat twice as much.

Identification

"A. monstrosa" can be distinguished from "A. latistyla" in that it is white and only has three spots on the wing covers where "latistyla" has 4; another feature is the spines on the margin of the thorax.

Threatend

This "Species of Archimantis" is now near threatened via the overpopulation of "A.latistyla" found spread over Australia. "A. monstrosa" having found on the coast line can get quite large and even will attack some more larger prey.
