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.

Creobroter
''Creobroter'' is a genus of flower mantises in the tribe Hymenopodini; species are concentrated in Asia. The name comes from the Greek kreo-', meaning "flesh") and ''broter''" meaning "eating", therefore, "flesh-eating", an apt name for a predatory insect. Both sexes have long wings and are capable fliers. Full-grown males are about 3 to 4 cm in length; females are about 4 to 5 cm. Camouflage and mimicry As the common name indicates, ''Creobroter'' spp. are known for having varicolored (yellow, white, red, brown, etc.) markings, which serve as camouflage by hiding the creatures' actual shape and making them look somewhat like flowers when hiding amidst green foliage. The resemblance to flowers may be greater in subadults of ''Creobroter'' than adults. This flower mimicry is only partial, but is attractive enough to make ''Creobroter'' species favored as pets, especially as they are more common and less delicate than the more flower-like '' Hymenopus''.

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 ...

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". Description Males measure and females in total length. Living specimens are predominantly green in color. The head is triangular. The pronotum is moderately lender. The forelegs are typical of praying mantises. The abdomen is wide; the wings far surpass the end of abdomen. Habitat ''Heliomantis latipennis'' appears to prefer mountain forests and has been recorded at elevations of above sea level.

Pseudocreobotra
''Pseudocreobotra'' is a genus of Sub-Saharan flower mantises. They are visually similar to ''Creobroter'' species of Asia, but belong to different subfamilies. Their forewings have prominent spiralled eyespots, which are flashed in a silent deimatic display, to startle would-be predators. The nymphs however, expand the raised abdomen in response to threats, to reveal a single dorsal eyespot. The species are easily reared in captivity. Species The species include: * '' Pseudocreobotra amarae'' Rehn, 1901 * '' Pseudocreobotra ocellata'' Beauvois, 1805 * '' Pseudocreobotra wahlbergi'' Stål, 1871 See also * List of mantis genera and species * 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.
