Spotted Mantis

The Spotted Mantis is an Rare bug in Palia.

Description

“	A rare mantis with a beautiful set of spots.	”
–In-Game Item Description

Found around the Dragon Shrine in Kilima.

Location

Spotted Mantises can be found at any time of day exclusively around Maji's Hollow in Kilima Valley.

Behavior

The Spotted Mantis is one of the most difficult Rare Bugs to locate in Palia due to its very specific spawn location around the Dragon Shrine.

Although it can be difficult to tell apart from the Common Field Crickets at a distance, Spotted Mantises can be distinguished up close by their lightly-colored bodies and dark spots along their backs.

The Spotted Mantis is alerted by player movement and Smoke Bombs, and will attempt to flee. Spotted Mantises pause briefly after hopping away a short distance, so players should use this time to throw additional Smoke Bombs as the Spotted Mantis attempts to escape.

Spotted Mantis grants between 0 - 7 Silk Thread when caught.
