Hymenopus coronatus
Small white mantis that mimics a flower, which is what I thought it was, until it moved
Forest track/fruit garden
Animal mimicry .... When I spotted this white mantis on a leaf the other morning, I went to pick it up thinking it was a fallen flower that I did'nt recognise ... then it jumped into the vegetation below.
