This beautiful flower mantis was found in Nkutu Valley, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. Experts said she looked like a pregnant female as you could see her broadening frilled edged belly beginning to extend sideways. She loves to hunt bees that visit the flowers of herbs such as purple and rose pelargonium, she sits at the flowers and hunts using her camouflage. We have named her Miss Frilly Pants but she is more formally known as Miss Pseudocreobotra Wahlbergi (Spiny flower mantis)
