Orthodera novaezealandiae

''Orthodera novaezealandiae'', known as the New Zealand mantis or the New Zealand praying mantis, is a species of praying mantis which is, as both the scientific name and common names suggest, indigenous and endemic to New Zealand.〔() University of Auckland〕〔Ramsay, G. W. 1990. Mantodea (Insecta) with a review of aspects of functional morphology and biology. ''Fauna of New Zealand'' 19, 96 pages. ISBN 0-477-02581-1. Published 13 June 1990.〕〔() Purkayastha, M. 1999, ''Orthodera novaezealandiae'', University of Michigan Animal Diversity Web. Accessed July 27, 2008〕〔() Tree of Life〕〔() New Zealand Praying Mantis (exotic-pets.co.uk)〕
==Description==

''O. novaezealandiae'' nymphs are pale, translucent green with a dark stripe running from head to end of abdomen. As adults, they are bright green and grow to between 35 mm and 40 mm in length.〔(see note 〔() This information from the University of Michigan reports that ''O. novaezealandiae'' grows between 3.5 and 4.5 ''inches'' in length, a size that seems incompatible with the information given in other sources. 3.5 to 4.5 ''centimetres'' may be what the text should read.〕) As in most mantis species, sexual dimorphism means the female is larger.〔〔
The New Zealand mantis has a triangular head with slightly over-sized compound eyes that give it excellent binocular vision (although they do have a blind spot). Its wings differ from those of other species in the "development of the archedictyon and the absence of cross-veins in the forewing".〔〔
"A very active little Mantis",〔 ''O. novaezealandiae'' is well-designed as a predator. Its specialized forelimbs are long and equipped with extremely sharp spikes to impale prey.〔 Blue eyespots on the underside of the insect's forelegs helps in differentiating this species from ''Miomantis caffra'', an introduced species from South Africa that became established in New Zealand during the 1970s.〔〔〔() Photo of ''O. novaezealandiae'' female creating ootheca and discussion of ''Miomantis caffra''〕
