Fun fact! Mantises hunt by ambushing their prey and many species have evolved to mimic flowers or leaves, providing them with excellent camouflage. The wandering violin mantis has a slender body with long leafy limbs that allow it to visually vanish into the foliage where is preys upon flying insects. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153476167795603&set=a.10153476167265603.1073741871.10150120463815603&type=1
