🦗Chinese mantis

Tenodera sinensis Saussure, 1871

גמל-שלמה סיני (שם מדעי: Tenodera sinensis) הוא מין בסדרת גמלי שלמה שמצוי באסיה. ב-1896 המין הוכנס בטעות לארצות הברית ומאז נחשב למין פולש. גמל-השלמה הסיני ניזון בעיקר מחרקים אחרים, אולם נקבות בוגרות ניצפו בעבר אוכלות מלבד חרקים (צרעות וחגבים), עכבישים, זוחלים קטנים ואפילו ציפורים יונקי דבש. כמו רוב גמלי השלמה, הם ידועים בהיותם קניבלים. מחקר אחד מראה שקניבליזם מתרחש בכ-50% ממקרי ההזדווגות של מין זה.
