Hymenopus coronatus

Insects

Hymenopus coronatus is a mantis from the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, known by various common names including walking flower mantis, orchid-blossom mantis, and pink orchid mantis. It belongs to a group known as flower mantises, recognized for coloring and shape that mimic orchid blooms. This camouflage lets it ambush pollinating insects that approach the flowers it resembles, striking rapidly to capture unsuspecting prey.
