Yunnan Shield Mantis (Asiadodis yunnanensis) i2-i3
Asiadodis yunnanensis is a species of shield mantis native to parts of Southeast Asia, particularly regions in China (including Yunnan province), Myanmar, and nearby areas. Known for its distinctive broad, leaf-like thorax that helps it blend seamlessly into foliage, this mantis is a master of camouflage. It thrives in warm, humid environments, with ideal temperatures around 75–85°F (24–29°C) and humidity levels of 60–80%. In captivity, it requires a ventilated enclosure with plenty of vertical space and live plants or branches to climb on. A. yunnanensis feeds on a variety of small to medium-sized live insects such as fruit flies, moths, and flies. Like many mantids, they should be housed individually to prevent cannibalism, especially during molting. Their elegant leaf-like appearance and active hunting behavior make them popular among mantis enthusiasts. This species is hard to keep, and only experienced keepers should buy this species.
