While the species most commonly presents in vivid green, a natural brown colour form occurs — typically associated with drier or more exposed habitats — and it is this less frequently encountered variant that makes this specimen particularly appealing to collectors. The brown form offers a striking contrast to the typical green specimens found in most collections, with warm earthy tones that lend it a distinctive and naturalistic aesthetic. A rewarding and uncommon addition to any Mantodea collection or natural history display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect for entomologists, natural history collectors, educators, artists, interior designers seeking authentic Victorian cabinet aesthetics, and anyone passionate about the extraordinary diversity of the insect world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BugsDirect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46591438717117,"sku":null,"price":600.0,"currency_code":"CZK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1228\/7064\/files\/hierodula_patellifera_fml_brown_Jv.jpg?v=1786699226","url":"https:\/\/www.bugsdirect.com\/en-cz\/products\/hierodula-patellifera-brown-form-mantis-specimen-a1-spread-mantodea","provider":"BugsDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
