'Flower' eat bloodthirsty meat in Vietnam

That 'flower' is a strange mantis called orchid mantis , the scientific name is Hymenopus coronatus .

They live in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, including Vietnam.

They are called mantis orchids because the color and body shape are very similar to a orchid.

Their legs are identical to those of orchids, while the front limbs are serrated like other mantis species used in capturing prey.

This is a great camouflage tactic, making orchid mantis become 'invisible' when sneaking into orchids.

Instead of searching for prey, this mantis stays motionless for hours on the flower, waiting for its prey to fly in order to summarize it with sharp and lightning-fast speed.

Orchid mantis is a very curious species, they are ready to attack all moving objects into their field of vision.

Their food is insects, especially bees, butterflies, who often look to flowers to extract bile.

Another special feature of orchid mantis is that they also have the ability to change colors to suit the flower that they shelter.

According to studies, they can change 90 colors, between pink and brown.

Due to its uniqueness, orchid mantis is very popular among insect collectors.

But not everyone has the opportunity to own this mantis species because they are rare and the price is very high. (Photo: Internet)
