Chinese mantis [SEP] parent taxon
Chinese mantis
The Chinese mantis ("Tenodera sinensis") is a species of praying mantis native to Asia and the nearby islands. In 1896 this species was accidentally introduced by a nurseryman at Mt. Airy near Philadelphia, United States. "Tenodera sinensis" often is erroneously referred to as "Tenodera aridifolia sinensis" because it was at first described as a subspecies of "Tenodera aridifolia", but "Tenodera sinensis" is now established as a full species.
"Tenodera sinensis" feeds primarily on other insects, though
