There are a few ways that Leafstalker Mantises can appear before you. This includes:
The chance of getting one when foraging for Sweet Leaves or Dari Cloves is only10 percent, making it quite a rare spawn. If you want to use this method, however, you can find Sweet Leaves and Dari Cloves in northern Bahari Bay, usually from the Flooded Steps to Thorny Thickets, as well as Statue Garden. They will look like the second image above.
If you want to catch them in the wild, it is a good idea to attempt to lure them to you, or track them down.Buzzy Jarsare a great way to have the Leafstalker Mantis marked on your map, so you can quickly find one in the wild. Otherwise, you canuse a Honey Lureto attract them to the area. You can get the Honey Lure recipe for 2000 Gold from Auni at the Bug Catching Guild. You must at least be at level 7 to purchase it. You can then place the Honey Lure anywhere in northern Bahari Bay that we mentioned before, and wait for the Leafstalker Mantis to arrive.
If you see one on the ground, make sure to be prepared withyour Smoke Bombs, so you can sneak up on it without it being able to detect you. Usually, it will hop away after first noticing you, but it will still be nearby, so you can use another Smoke Bomb if you need to. You will then have a Leafstalker Mantis in your inventory, which you can eitheruse to make a profit, or use to complete quests and bundles
