Dictyoptera is a fascinating order of insects that includes various species with remarkable camouflage abilities. One such example is the Malaysian Orchid Mantis (Hymenopus coronatus), which comes in two stunning color morphs - pink and white. These incredible creatures blend seamlessly with orchids, making it nearly impossible to spot them at first glance. Moving on to Africa, we encounter the Devils flower mantis (Idolomantis diabolica), a male specimen held in captivity. This striking insect showcases its vibrant colors while originating from the African continent. Venturing into South America, we come across the Tropical shield mantis (Choeradodis sp. ), possibly belonging to the C. Rhombicollis species. Found in Canande, Esmeraldas, this mantis displays an intricate pattern on its body and exhibits exceptional adaptability within its environment. The Dragon mantis (Toxodera beieri) captures our attention with its detailed head featuring large compound eyes. This magnificent creature relies on these specialized organs for keen vision as it navigates through its surroundings. In Burma resides the Peacock mantis (Pseudempusa pinnapavonis). In a defensive posture, this captive insect showcases its unique appearance resembling a peacock's feathers. Its presence adds vibrancy to Burmese landscapes. North Africa introduces us to the Thistle Mantis (Blepharopsis mendica), found among petals while being held captive. Originating from this region, it demonstrates how nature can create astonishing adaptations for survival. Another captivating member of the Spiny flower mantis (Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii). With wings spread wide in defense mode, this species hails from South and East Africa and captivates observers with both beauty and intimidation.
