Liturgusid mantises
Scientific name: Liturgusidae
Description
Unlike their relatives, which typically exhibit vibrant colors and are found in lush vegetation, Liturgusidae prefers the rugged life atop tree bark, seamlessly blending into their environment with their bark-like texture and coloration. This impeccable camouflage serves as a first-rate adaptation for predation and survival, allowing them to ambush unsuspecting prey. It's a common misconception that all mantids thrive only in green, leafy habitats; however, Liturgusidae showcases the diversity and adaptability of these enigmatic insects by thriving in a markedly different ecosystem.
