The praying mantis, with its unique and captivating appearance, never fails to mesmerize. From the intricate details of its head to the graceful stance it assumes while at rest, this fascinating creature truly embodies nature's marvels. One particular species that stands out is the Orchid Mantis - a master of disguise. With its delicate pink or white color morphs perfectly blending in with the vibrant petals of an orchid, it becomes nearly invisible to unsuspecting prey. The Hymenopus coronatus showcases camouflage at its finest. Venturing into Kenya, Africa, we encounter a close-up view of a Praying Mantis's head. Its large compound eyes and sharp mandibles give us a glimpse into its predatory prowess. This remarkable insect possesses both beauty and strength. Meanwhile, in Malaysia, another variation of the Malaysian Orchid Mantis captivates our attention. Adorned in stunning shades of pink or white, it flawlessly camouflages itself amidst orchids – an exquisite display from Mother Nature herself. As we explore further into different species' lives, we witness the incredible development process of their wings. These fragile yet essential structures undergo metamorphosis alongside their bodies as they transform from nymphs to adults ready for flight. In Africa resides the RF - Devils flower mantis (Idolomantis diabolica), showcasing striking colors and patterns that make it stand out among other mantises. It serves as a reminder that even within this diverse family lies individuality waiting to be discovered. Traveling across continents brings us face-to-face with the Tropical shield mantis (Choeradodis sp. ) found in Canande, Esmeraldas region. Its distinct rhombicollis shape sets it apart from others within its genus – an embodiment of nature's endless surprises. Closer to home in Europe hides another member of this intriguing order: The European / Praying Mantis finds solace in long grasses, typical of the steppe near the river Ural.
