What color is the praying mantis?

Answer 1

Praying Mantises come in a variety of colors since there are more than 2,000 species. They are often green or brown in color, but there are many species that come in a variety of other colors and even patterns. Typically, praying mantises match the colors of their habitat. If a mantis lives on a specific flower, then it might have similar colors on its own body such as pink, yellow, and white.

Answer 2

Praying mantis eyes change color depending on what the light conditions are. They turn dark when there is little or no light and light green or tan with quite a bit of light.

Did you know that they have 3 light sensors between their eyes?

Answer 3

Mantises are camouflaged and most species are colored to resemble foliage or other backgrounds. Some species in Africa and Australia are able to turn black after a molt towards the end of the dry season. Since they live only about 14-15 months, this change to black would be when they are about 12-13 months old. They don't have a real color change as you see in chameleons which can be very rapid.

Answer 4

No, they can not change colors. Depending on the area which they were born at, they can blend into the surroundings easily, because of their greenish color or brown color.

Answer 5

Apparently some do because when we caught one and put it in a jar it turned from green to brown.

No, praying mantis don't change colour. You are thinking of a Chameleon or chamaeleon, an old world lizard that can change colour.
