Insects and animals that resemble lovely flowers are particularly adept at deceiving. Thus, exercise caution when bending down to smell the flowers, as some might actually be insects or animals. This is one of the most interesting things of Mother nation. They perfectly blend with nature and it is truly incredible and amazing.
This is a story about how South African farmer Margaret found something very interesting. Neville was walking through her garden when she saw what appeared to be a blossom moving on a lavender shrub.
As she approached, she saw that it was an amazing bug unlike any other that she had ever seen. The name Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii, which means “spiky flower mantis,” refers to this delicate-looking insect. Africa’s sub-Saharan region is home to this type of praying mantis. They look just perfect, right?
This species is excellent at hiding in flowery settings as they perfectly blend with the area and noticing them is almost impossible. But as you can see, there are some sharp-eyed-people who can notice them even when hiding among the flowers.
The amazing insect had the appearance of a piece of art. Its body was covered in tiny purple flower-like structures, with a swirl that resembled an eye highlighting its green and white wings. She sent her pal Kerri Martinaglia the picture right away. Naturally, Martinaglia was equally impressed.
Martinaglia told The Dodo, “I thought it was an exquisite work of art when I saw it.” And she is completely right. She posted the pictures on social media, whereupon the unique mantis amassed a global following. When they discovered that there is such an animal, they were astounded.
Neville named her Miss Frilly Pants before replanting her in the lavender shrub. “She lived off my lavender for the entire month of September,” Neville remarked. “She.” She’s still here right now.
