Statilia maculata
Asian jumping mantis, 小蟷螂, ko-kamakiri, 좀사마귀, joem-sa-ma-gui
Statilia maculata is a medium-sized praying mantis native to East Asia, commonly known as the Asian jumping mantis. Adults range from 40–50 mm (males) to 45–58 mm (females). The species inhabits low-lying vegetation including weeds and shrubs, distinguishing it from canopy-dwelling relatives. First described by Carl Peter Thunberg in 1784 from specimens thought to be from eastern India, it is now recognized across a broad Asian range. The species exhibits notable sexual dimorphism in cercal structure, with females possessing more articles and longer cerci than males.
