The world's most perfect biological evolution世界上進化得最完美的生物

Orchid mantises thrive in humid, warm areas of south Asian rain forests. These mantids can be found on orchids, papaya trees or frangipani trees with flowers. In captivity, the nymph's diet can consist mainly of fruit flies, but they will eat other small insects. Adults will eat anything they can catch; this includes small lizards, bees without stingers, house flies, butterflies, moths and other non-venomous flying insects. 蘭花螳螂喜好濕潤，溫暖的南亞地區熱帶雨林。這些螳螂可以在蘭花，有花的木瓜樹或赤素馨樹上找到。在人工飼養時，美麗幼蟲的食物主要包括果蠅，但他們也會吃其他的小昆蟲。成蟲會吃任何他們能抓到的東西，這些包括小蜥蜴，無刺蜜蜂，蒼蠅，蝴蝶，蛾類及其他無毒飛蟲。

When threatened, the mantis either tries to confuse the predator, or scare it. If lifted into the air, they become vicious, attempting to bite everything within reach. Their predators include lizards, geckos, jumping spiders, toads, birds, rodents, bats, and shrews.當受到威脅時，螳螂試圖迷惑獵食者，或嚇唬它。當昂首在空中時，他們变得兇狠，會咬一切夠得到的任何東西。他們的天敵，包括蜥蜴、壁虎、跳躍蜘蛛、蟾蜍、鳥類、鼠類、蝙蝠和鼩。

This species is characterized by brilliant and beautiful coloring and unusual structure; their four walking legs resemble flower petals, and the coloration of the bodies tends to match the environment in which they were raised. The males are generally less than half the size of the females. Young nymphs resemble ants with orange and black bodies. As the mantis grows in its environment, its color comes to more closely match the coloration of its surroundings with each passing molt. It has been theorized that humidity and intensity of light play a large role in the final coloration of the adult. 這種具有豔麗色彩和獨特構造的特徵，在它們站起來走路時，四條腿類似花瓣，帶色的身體傾向與環境吻合。雄性蘭花螳螂一般不超過雌性的一半大小。幼蟲像橘色和黑色的螞蟻。由於螳螂在其生長的環境，每次蛻皮時，它的顏色更密切地配合其周圍環境的色彩。據推斷，濕度和光照強度，對成蟲最後顏色的行成，發揮了很大的作用。
