With many species of mantis, there are a great number of ways that their colors, patterns, even shading can come out. That's one of the joys of keeping them for me, but I was wondering in your experience, are their color/ pattern morphs in leaf mimicking species. Mostly talking leaf and not dead leaf.
I get that the idea of a leaf mimicking mantis is to mimic a leaf and they are green, but what about "sun spots" or "burn spots" or anything really. Are there really any color morphs for true leaf mimicking species? Any thoughts would be appreciated?
