Malaysian orchid mantis found at a nature resort in Krabi, Thailand called "PhanomBenchaMountainResort" (.com). These pink mantis' are the coolest bugs I've ever seen in Thailand. Their camouflage is perfect. Their actions are even better. They shake like a flower blowing in the wind. The entire time (1 hour) I was with this orchid mantis it didn't try to fly. I think that's because as soon as it flies it becomes VERY vulnerable to birds catching it and eating it. Instead, the mantis walks very slowly around, So slowly that it would be hard for a bird or other predator to see it moving at all.
I have seen Calotes emma eating two large green mantis's at the top of a mountain near our home. These must be prey for them as well.
This mantis can change to brown color or this amazing pink and white - depending what it wants to do.
Here it stays pink because it just camps out on green leafy vegetation and looks like one flower in the middle of all that green. Many bugs fly close by, ready to land on it, and get caught by the mantis' lightning fast reflexes. It literally catches flies out of the air.
One amazing bug! The classification is: Hymenopus coronatus.
