Thespidae
Family of praying mantises
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thespidae is a family of insects in the order Mantodea.[1][2][3][4] Following a major revision of this order in 2019, the old-world subfamilies Haaniinae and Hoplocoryphinae, previously placed here, have been upgraded to family level. Thespidae are mostly Neotropical and few species have reached the Nearctic realm.
