I just can't get over how absolutely gorgeous the flowery looking mantis are. Just beautiful! And the leaf one is pretty amazing as well. I mean I knew bugs camo'd as live leaves, but didn't know they do it with dead leaves as well. That's pretty wild!

Am I the only one who isn't seeing the third picture at all? Anyone know if it's a browser issue or otherwise? And if it IS my browser, which ones are you using so that you CAN see it??
This last one illustrates what it would look like if a flower transformed into a mantis (hello Insecticon) and ate the fly that had been attempting to plumb it for nectar. Oh little fly, sometimes the flower bites back.
