Popa spurca, also known as the African twig mantis, is a species of mantis native to Africa. It takes its common name from its resemblance to twig from a woody plant and grows up to 8 centimetres (3.1 in) long if female or 7 cm (2.8 in) long if male.
Just like a twig that has fallen from a tree branch. Every part of this Mantis is camouflaged. They have matching bumps and growth rings and even the eyes look like wood!
From young Nymphs to Adults their colour is normally a dark brown, but this can sometimes range into a tan colour.
The length of the arms allow them to catch prey nearly its own size, as they are very aggressive towards food.
