Hymenopus is a small genus of flower mantises in the family Hymenopodidae, known for their striking resemblance to flowers.[1] These mantises are primarily found in tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, including countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand. [2]Their camouflage allows them to ambush pollinating insects such as bees and butterflies.[3]
