Mantis
Mantises are an order (Mantodea) of insects that contains over 2,400 species in about 460 genera in 33 families. The largest family is the Mantidae ("mantids"). Mantises are distributed worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. They have triangular heads with bulging eyes supported on flexible necks. Their elongated bodies may or may not have wings, but all Mantodea have forelegs that are greatly enlarged and adapted for catching and gripping prey; their upright posture, while remaining stationary with forearms folded, has led to the common name praying mantis. The closest relatives of mantises are termites and cockroaches ( Blattodea), which are all within the superorder Dictyoptera. Mantises are sometimes confused with stick insects ( Phasmatodea), other elongated insects such as grasshoppers (Orthoptera), or other more distantly related insects with raptorial forelegs such as mantisflies ( Mantispidae). Mantises are mostly ambush predators, but a few ground-dwel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hierodulinae
The ''Hierodulinae'' are a subfamily of praying mantids, originally used by Brunner von Wattenwyl. It was restored as part of a major revision of mantid taxonomy, and now contains genera previously placed elsewhere in the family Mantidae. The new placement means that this taxon is part of the superfamily Mantoidea (of group Cernomantodea) and infraorder Schizomantodea. Species have been recorded from: Africa, Asia and Australia. Tribes and genera This subfamily now contains many genera that were previously placed elsewhere including the Mantinae.

Hierodula
''Hierodula'' is a genus of praying mantids in the tribe Hierodulini, found throughout Asia. Many species are referred to by the common name giant Asian mantis because of their large size compared to other mantids. Their large size and vibrant coloration make ''Hierodula'' mantids popular in the pet trade. Some widespread species include '' H. membranacea'' and '' H. patellifera''; however this has been considered a 'catch all' genus and is currently subject to review. In 2020, three species were moved to a new genus, '' Titanodula''.Xavier H.C. Vermeersch. 2020.
