Pseudoharpax virescens, common name Gambian spotted-eye flower mantis, is a species of praying mantis native to Gambia. This small flower mantis grows to 1 inch in length and takes its name from two eye spots on the dorsal side of its abdomen of adult females. Despite their small size, they are not difficult to raise in captivity. [1]
