Finding Orchid Mantis in Indonesia

Orchid Mantiss still occur in Indonesia, though specific park pins are still being curated. Use the Orchid Mantis field guide for ID and biology, and the Indonesia expedition page for broader wildlife destinations.

Indonesia context: Seventeen thousand islands, two biogeographic realms, and more endemic species than almost anywhere on Earth.

When you are out looking, prioritise lowland rainforest, flowering understorey, and humid scrub in Indonesia. That is where local sightings of this species are most often reported.

Biology, interesting facts, identification, and conservation live on the Orchid Mantis field guide. This page stays focused on finding one in Indonesia.
