Animal of the Day!

Orchid Mantis (Hymenopus coronatus)

(Photo by Linda Castleson)

Conservation Status- Unlisted

Habitat- Southeast Asia

Size (Weight/Length)- 5 cm

Diet- Insects

Cool Facts- Like all mantis species, the orchid mantis relies on camoflage and extreme to speed to be a top predator of the insect world. Their body is similar to flowers from the straits rhododendron, a plant that they spend the majority of their lives hiding on. They then wait for hours until an insect, usually a pollinating fly or bee, where they are able to strike the insect with their front legs faster than the blink of a human eye. Often eating their prey head first to prevent the insect possibly escaping or injuring the orchid mantis. 

Rating- 13/10 (A beautiful killer.)

i learned about Tim Wong who successfully and singlehandedly repopulated the rare California Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly in San Francisco. In the past few years, he’s cultivated more than 200 pipevine plants (their only food source) and gives thousands of caterpillars to his local Botanical Garden (x)
