Choeradodis stalii
Choeradodis stalii is a species of praying mantis with common names that include tropical shield mantis, hooded mantis, and leaf mantis.[1][2] It is found in Brazil, Ecuador, French Guiana, Panama, and Peru.[3] As described by one insect-breeding hobbyist, this species:
Nymphs of this species are born with a bright red color distinguishing them from other Choeradodis spp. Even at early instars, they display somewhat of a hood. Each time the larvae moult, they grow more greenish and their hood grows larger, until they reach adulthood.[5] See alsoReferences
