Ghost Mantis (Phyllocrania paradoxa) – A species of mantis from Africa which can come in variety of colors such as dark brown, pale brown, black, and green.
I found this mantis in the hiding in some flowers while I was watering them. I like to think that he lives there because he was there the next day as well.
