Leaf Mantis

From Wikipedia: Choeradodis is a genus of praying mantises with common names such as Shield Mantis, Hood Mantis (or Hooded Mantis), and Leaf Mantis (or Leafy Mantis) because of their extended, leaf-like thoraxes. Most mantises are exclusively predatory and exceptions are nearly exclusively so. Insects form the primary diet.
