Choeradodis: The Remarkable Leaf-like Mantis

The Choeradodis genus, also known as shield mantises, hood mantises, or leaf mantises, is famous for its incredible leaf-like appearance, thanks to their laterally expanded thorax and rounded wing cases. Native to the Neotropical regions of Central and South America, these mantises use their unique camouflage to blend seamlessly with leaves, avoiding predators and ambushing prey.

What’s fascinating? Some even have tiny fungi and lichens growing on them, making their disguise even more convincing. These mantises are living proof that nature is the ultimate artist!
