Today’s insect is a master of disguise. 🥸Meet the beautiful orchid mantis (Hymenopus coronatus). With back legs that change color and resemble petals, this insect blends in perfectly among flowers. But don’t be fooled by its pretty, pink appearance! This critter is a formidable predator. It uses its spiny front legs to grab prey, like spiders and insects, which often mistake the mantis for a flower. It can be spotted in parts of Asia including Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand.

The bad in each other
