From the GreenTracks Amazon Herping Tour 10/06 - 10/13, 2018

Notes from the Amazon No.261: This is the last installment I'll make for Amazonian wildlife until I head back down early next year. We had the good fortune of observing a different species of "Dead Leaf Mantid" on this trip (Metilia brunneri). While smaller than the Leaf Mantis (Choeradodis stalii), this species is no less cryptic. One interesting side note - this species takes to flight more more readily than the larger leaf mantid species. This individual was observed in a forest tracts off of the main branch of the Amazon River, Loreto, Peru - October 2018.
