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

The world is filled with fascinating creatures that we have never even discovered yet. This extraordinary bug is something you most probably have never come across ever in your life. The orchid mantis resembles a beautiful pink orchid flower. It is a very rare species of bug. This unique bug is native only to Malaysia and can be spotted on different plants in humid and tropical forests.

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.
