Visitors with a zoo ticket will see thirty species of these perfect predators for free – several times a week, there will also be guided tours.
Due to high demand, Prague Zoo is extending its exclusive exhibition of mantises until October 18th. Visitors will thus see thirty species of these perfect predators for free with their zoo ticket – several times a week, there will also be guided tours. The collection in the Gočár Houses features mantises from four continents, and some of them present a real challenge. The feared hunters of the insect kingdom mimic the appearance of orchid flowers, dried leaves, or even lichens. The flagship species of the exhibition has become the praying mantis, the Czech Insect of the Year 2026.
Fascinating camouflage, merciless grasping limbs, and sexual cannibalism. Popular mantises continue to attract visitors to Prague Zoo. "We wanted each terrarium to tell a story and highlight a specific interest. It’s wonderful to observe visitors as they joyfully search for cleverly camouflaged species. The magnifying glasses available at the exhibition allow for a close look at these masters of camouflage in the smallest details," says Vojtěch Víta, the specialist in invertebrates at Prague Zoo and the exhibition's author.
