Tenodera angustipennis is a species of mantis native to Asia and nearby areas of Oceania. The species was introduced and became established in the eastern United States. Tenodera angustipennis was noticed as early as 1921 in Aberdeen, Maryland, but that occurrence was not noted in a published record until 1933.
This species has two common names, narrow-winged mantis and Japanese mantis, in English. This insect is known as チョウセンカマキリ (translates to "Korean mantis") in the Japanese language and 참사마귀, (an alternative name which translates to "true mantis"), as well as just plain 사마귀 (a formal name) in the Korean language (사마귀 can mean the whole order of Mantodea or this specific species of praying mantis).
The generic name Tenodera is from Greek meaning "slender neck", and the specific name angustipennis is from Latin meaning "narrow wing". Size: Males are 65~80 mm, and females are 68~85 mm in length. T. angustipennis is often brown or green and has a more elongated pronotum and shorter, narrower tegmina and wings than Tenodera sinensis. T. angustipennis has a brown, patterned streak on each of its transparent hind wings, while... Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Narrow-Winged Mantis is recorded against all the insects logged in Osaka (47 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
