Hymenopodidae
Hymenopodidae is a Family (biology), family of the Order (biology), order Mantodea (mantises), which contains six Subfamily (biology), subfamilies. Some of the species in this Family (biology), family mimic flowers and are found camouflaged among them; these are called flower mantises. Their coloration is aggressive mimicry, luring prey to approach close enough to be seized and eaten.

Flower Mantis
Flower mantises are praying mantises that use a special form of camouflage referred to as aggressive mimicry, which they not only use to attract prey, but avoid predators as well. These insects have specific colorations and behaviors that mimic flowers in their surrounding habitats. This Strategy (game theory), strategy has been observed in other mantises including the stick mantis and Dead leaf mantis, dead-leaf mantis. The observed behavior of these mantises includes positioning themselves on a plant and either inserting themselves within the irradiance or on the foliage of the plants until a prey insect comes within range. Many species of flower mantises are popular as pets. The flower mantises are Diurnality, diurnal group with a single ancestry (a clade), but the majority of the known species belong to family Hymenopodidae, Hymenopodidea. Example species: Orchid mantis The orchid mantis, Hymenopus coronatus of southeast Asia mimics Orchidaceae, orchid flowers. There is no ...

Hymenopus Coronatus
''Hymenopus coronatus'' is a mantis from the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. It is known by various common names, including walking flower mantis, orchid-blossom mantis and (pink) orchid mantis. It is one of several species known as ''flower mantis'', a reference to their unique physical form and behaviour, which often involves moving with a “swaying” motion, as if being “blown” in the breeze. Several species have evolved to mimic orchid flowers as a hunting and camouflaging strategy, “hiding” themselves in plain view and preying upon pollinating insects that visit the blooms. They are known to grab their prey with blinding speed. Description This species mimics parts of the orchid flower. The four walking legs resemble flower petals, and the toothed front pair is used as in other mantises for grasping prey. ''H. coronatus'' shows some of the most pronounced size sexual dimorphism of any species of mantis; males can be less than half the size of females. The fema ...

Heliomantis
''Heliomantis'' is an Asian genus of praying mantids in the family Hymenopodidae, subfamily Hymenopodinae. The genus is Monotypic taxon, monotypic. Species The genus contains only one valid species: * ''Heliomantis elegans'' (Longinos Navás, Navás, 1904) (lectotype: NE India & Nepal; also recorded in Bhutan) Reassigned ''Heliomantis latipennis'' Franz Werner, Werner, 1930 from Sarawak, Borneo, has been transferred to the new genus ''Werneriana'' due to its "highly divergent morphology".
