An odd little mantis - Phthersigena conspersa
Identified as Phthersigena conspersa on Bowerbird by Matthew Connors: "Finally found a name! Phthersigena seems to have been 'lost' in the taxonomic depths, with next to no information available on the genus and very few images or diagrams anywhere. This is despite the genus being widespread and with 7-8 species (albeit they are small and cryptic). As far as I can tell these are the first live images of both this species and of the entire genus!"
