The unique shape of the insect, the praying mantis, is often associated with its hunting instinct and ruthless hunting style. Their long bodies and slender forelimbs give them a sense of elegance and mystery. Among many insect specimens, mantis specimens are deeply loved by collectors and researchers for their unique forms and vivid colors.

The praying mantis has a very special body structure. They usually have a three-part body structure: head, chest, and abdomen. On the head, the mantis's compound eyes and antennae are well developed, allowing them to clearly pick up movement around them. The chest has three pairs of feet, and the front legs have a special shape, like sharp scissors, which makes them more effective in catching prey. The abdomen is usually slender and may have distinctive reproductive organs at the end. Preserving these details is especially important during the taxidermy process, as they not only reveal the beauty of the mantis, but also provide a basis for studying its biological characteristics.

In the color of the specimen, the mantis exhibits a variety of variations. In the natural environment, their color will often blend with the surrounding plants to achieve the purpose of concealment. This camouflage makes them more efficient at hunting and less detectable to their prey. Carefully crafted specimens retain these colors and show a harmonious symbiosis between the mantis and its environment.

The process of taxidermy mantis is also challenging. First, the mantis needs to be handled correctly at the time of capture to ensure that it can retain its natural posture and structure. Then, after a series of fixing, drying and coloring treatments, the final product is presented. In this process, meticulous operation and patience are indispensable, especially when it comes to ensuring that every detail is not overlooked.
