Inimia nat is a species of mantis in the family Nanomantidae, and it is the sole species in the genus Inimia. It is found in south-eastern Queensland, Australia.[1]
Etymology
This species was first discovered with the aid of the citizen science platform iNaturalist. Following standard practice for binomial names, Inimia nat may be abbreviated to I. nat. Its name is wordplay by the authors to pay homage to iNaturalist, which itself is sometimes abbreviated to iNat.[1]
