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

Are orchid mantises aggressive? Orchid mantises are aggressive insects. Despite their flowery colors, they catch their prey by snatching it out of the air with their front legs and they devour it mercilessly. Female orchid mantises are known to be more aggressive than males. A female orchid mantis will eat its male counterpart after copulation or when it's hungry. This kind of cannibalism is made easier by the fact that female mantises are more than double the size of males.
