The Orchid Mantis(Hymenopus coronatus)!:
A classic, but has a reason to be obvi. The look of those are MAJESTIC.
I am so tired to get into the scientific part now, I'm writing this right before I'll go to bed, but I already know some stuff so hope you like it.
Orchid mantis's most unique trait is their camofulage type, when most mantises camofulage *between* the leaves and stuff, (there are lots of dead leave mantids, and the shield ones like the banner in my profile [The one in my profile is the Malasiyan shield mantis]) they directly mimic to be the flower itself instead of hiding in it.
And one of the most insane stuff about this mantis is the fact that they attact even more bees than the real orchid flowers, because the bees identify and fly to the flowers for pollunating not only acconding to the smell, but also by their ability to see in ultraviolet, and the orchid mantis glow more than the actual flowers. So the food literally just prepares itself for them.
