Sibylla pretiosa
The cryptic mantis (''Sibylla pretiosa'') is a species of mantis found in southern Africa. They grow to about 45 mm in length, and have a long and thin prothorax.〔 The distinctively ornamented species has projections on the head, prothorax and four femurs. They live on tree bark in woodlands.
== Description ==
They have unusual leaf-like femoral projections near the joints of their four walking legs. Adults are distinguished from most other mantis species by their leaf-like wings, generally the only green portion of the mantis's otherwise brown and mottled exoskeleton. The spines on the raptorial forelimbs are long and needle-like, compared to the fine comb appearance of species such as ''Hymenopus coronatus'', the orchid mantis. The thorax of the cryptic mantis is very thin and elongated, similar to that of the wandering violin mantis, ''Gongylus gongylodes''. Adult females generally reach in length while the males are generally about smaller. The lifespan of the wild cryptic mantis is unknown, but they have been known to live up to nine months in captivity (wild mantises likely live slightly longer, a year and a few months).
