Hymenopus
Hymenopus is a small genus of mantises in the family Hymenopodidae, known for their striking resemblance to flowers. Their camouflage allows them to ambush pollinating insects such as bees and butterflies. They are found in tropical regions of Southeast Asia, including countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, further north into Thailand (etc.), Burma and possibly neighbouring regions.
