Tenodera aridifolia
Tenodera aridifolia is a species of mantis in the subfamily Mantinae. Common names include Japanese giant mantis, オオカマキリ oo-kamakiri ("large mantis") in Japan. It is also known as the Chinese mantis, not to be confused with Tenodera sinensis, which has the same common name. T. sinensis was once considered to be a subspecies of the Japanese giant mantis.
