|
| Male |
ca. 7,5cm- 8,5cm |
| Female |
ca. 9,5cm- 10cm |
| |
|
| Lifespan
Quotation of the Lifespan
|
|
The lifespan is given in month and has the following definition:
overall-age ("time between hatching and imago" + "lifespan after the last molting")
Example: 9 (2 + 7) month lifespan
overall-age = 9 month
time between hatching and imago = 2 month
lifespan after the last molting = 7 month
|
|
|
| Male |
10 (4 + 6) months / ~ 9 moltings |
| Female |
13 (5 + 8) months / ~ 9 moltings |

Spreading
|

For a better overview, only whole countries are listed for the quotation of spreading, even if a species can only be found in a small part of that country.
All data for the spreading is taken from Reinhard Ehrmann's book "Mantodea - Gottesanbeterinnen der Welt" (Mantodea - Praying mantids of the world).
More about this book can be found in the section literature at this page.
At the menu "Spreading" for each country only the genus but the species is printed (Exception: on this site described species).

| | Hint | Adults show an impressing threat- behaviour (s. photos --> adult). The subwings of both sexes are colourful and have a iridescent eye- spot. Furthermore the females can stridulate with their wings. The subwings were rub against special black areas on the abdomen. It sounds like rustling pulp. |
