From the mesmerizing Sea green swallowtail butterfly to the stunning Malaysian Orchid Mantis in its pink and white color morphs, nature never fails to amaze us with its camouflage skills. Originating from Malaysia, these mantises blend seamlessly into their orchid homes. But it's not just mantises that captivate our attention; we also have the RF - Devils flower mantis, a male specimen found in Africa. Its unique appearance is both intriguing and intimidating. Meanwhile, the Tropical shield mantis from Canande, Esmeraldas showcases its distinctive rhombicollis pattern. Insects like the Black oil beetle find nourishment on flowers such as Lesser cellandine while Flatid planthopper nymphs thrive in Danum Valley, Sabah, Borneo.
