Fun-Sized Zoo

Gonatista grisea, also known as the grizzled mantis is one of the best USA native mantids ever! Friendly, fierce, and flat haha. This little critter is an incredible ambush predator-mimicking lichen and bark patterns and becoming seemingly invisible when on the side of a tree or branch. We placed one on a pretty flower for you so you can actually see this little mantis. We have lots of nymphs!

The word, “cockroach” scares off so many people, however some species are quite cute, just like this domino roach!
