Insect behaviour of hymenopodidae by kanjengdyla
Hymenopodidae is a family of the order Mantodea (mantises), which contains four subfamilies. Some of the species in this family mimic flowers and are found camouflaged among them; these are called flower mantises. The coloration is aggressive mimicry, luring prey to approach close enough to be seized and eaten.
