Description from the seller

The mantis is fully intact, showcasing all key diagnostic features: a large triangular head with prominent compound eyes, long antennae, and the characteristic raptorial forelegs (catching legs). The body segmentation and complete wings are clearly visible. The amber has good transparency, allowing for excellent observation of the arthropod's details under magnification, with natural plant debris as a testament to its authenticity.
