About Statilia nemoralis – Orange Form

Statilia nemoralis is a slender and elegant praying mantis within the genus Statilia, distributed across South and Southeast Asia. While the species occurs in both green and brown forms, the orange colour form is a particularly striking and uncommon variant — its warm, amber-orange colouration setting it apart from virtually all other mantis specimens typically encountered in collections. In spread position, the orange form is a genuine eye-catcher, its unusual colouration lending it an immediate visual impact that makes it a standout piece in any display. A rare and distinctive addition to any Statilia series, colour form collection, or Southeast Asian Mantodea cabinet.

Perfect for entomologists, natural history collectors, educators, artists, interior designers seeking authentic Victorian cabinet aesthetics, and anyone passionate about the extraordinary diversity of the insect world.
