Naming

Common names, narrow-winged mantis or Japanese mantis in English or チョウセンカマキリ in the Japanese language or 참사마귀 and just plain 사마귀 in the Korean language .

"Tenodera" is from Greek meaning "slender neck" and "angustipennis" is from Latin meaning "narrow wing".

Habitat

The oothecae are often laid on twigs of shrubs, stems of tall herbs, but in field margins they seem to prefer to lay their oothecae on tree trunks and fence posts. In some areas the ''T. angustipennis'' are just as common as ''T. sinensis''.
