How to catch Orchid Mantis

Use the Insect Net. The exact approach depends on the creature’s category and, for shore-dwellers, its species type.

1. Equip the Insect Net and approach the creature at eye level or on the ground.
2. Most insects can be caught with a simple net swipe; slow down if the species is skittish.
3. Check tree trunks, flowers, shrubs, crops and aerial spaces — the habitat column tells you where this species spawns.

The orchid mantis is a mantis with highly specialized physiological characteristics due to its environment.

Despite having "orchid" in its name, it doesn't necessarily live exclusively on orchids.

Therefore, don't be too surprised if you run into one at an unexpected location.
