About Tenodera angustipennis

Tenodera angustipennis, the Narrow-winged Mantis, is a large and impressive praying mantis within the genus Tenodera — a group that includes some of the most substantial mantises in Asia. Distributed across East and Southeast Asia, angustipennis is distinguished from its congeners by its notably narrower forewings, as its name suggests, giving it a more elongated and streamlined silhouette than the broader-winged Tenodera species. A large, well-proportioned mantis that displays to excellent effect when spread, it is a commanding and satisfying specimen for any Mantodea collection or comparative study of the genus.

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.
