Euchomenella heteroptera, known as the giraffe mantis, is a slender, stick-like mantid native to Southeast Asia. Its elongated neck and delicate limbs give it a striking appearance, perfect for camouflage among twigs and foliage. Females grow larger than males and display subtle hues of brown, green, or pink. Calm and passive by nature, this species thrives in warm, humid enclosures and is popular among mantis keepers for its elegance and ease of care.
