Masters of disguise 🌸

Orchid mantises are experts at the art of mimicry and blend perfectly into their surroundings, making it a little bit easier to snatch up unsuspecting prey like crickets or moths. These petal-like predators are native to the rainforests of Southeast Asia, and can change colors by detecting the light and humidity in their surroundings.
