Wondering Violin Mantis - Gongylus Gongyloids
This has to be one of the strangest and
bizarrely looking Mantids there is!
They look very fragile due to their
'Prothorax' (neck), being very elongate and
narrow. As it reaches the head, just above
the arms, it widens slightly into a diamond
shape. Their eyes seem to be pointed,
with a leaf like shape that sits between
the antennae on top of its head. On the
abdomen and walking legs, lobes are
present. [eng]

Praying Mantises by Diane Donohue
The praying mantises are readily distinguished from cockroaches by the strong spined raptorial front legs. They also have a long, narrow prothorax that forms a movable 'neck'. At rest, the prothorax is usually raised a little and the front legs are held folded in front of the face - hence the name 'praying mantises'.

Gottesanbeterinnen.de - Gongylus gongylodes
Besonderheiten: Mag es ausgesprochen warm (30-40C). Unter 35C ist
auch keine Nachzucht möglich. Auch adulte Tiere lassen sich bei guter
Fütterung zusammenhalten. Unserer Erfahrung nach nehmen sie lieber
Fluginsekten als Bodenbewohner als Nahrung. [deu]
