Video by @Joel Sartore | This insect may look like forest debris from afar, but this Malaysian dead leaf mantis is very much alive. Photographed at @theomahazoo, this species is specialized to resemble a dried leaf so that hungry predators will ignore it as they search for a meal. When threatened, nymphs of this species will freeze and curl their legs in under their leaf-like backs in order to play dead. Adults, however, will raise their their wings and display the bright orange pattern underneath to fend off a predator.
Check out @Joel Sartore for a portrait of this mantis.
