Orchid Mantis-The Beautiful Bug That Looks Just Like A Flower

What is rather interesting is that these deadly bugs even hunt larger prey such as frogs, mice, and lizards. Despite their miniature size, their effective hunting tactic acts as a secret weapon that allows them to outsmart their prey. The female adult orchid mantis stretches about 6cm long and the male-only grows up to half of that length. Although dangerous, these creatures live very short lives. Their average life span is less than 8 months. They have become quite popular pets because of their mesmerizing outward appearance.
