Michelle Tiegs, The moment there is a doubt in ID: Acontisa or Raptrix . I 'm waiting for a contact who is an expert to resolve this dilemma :) !
Sckel, ele se camuflava perfeitamente nas folhas secas que ficavam grudadas no galho. Nessa planta havia muitos insetos: formigas, abelhas, cigarrinhas, com certeza ele andou se fartando por lá.
Flower praying mantis I pretty sure.
Eu nunca vi um mantis na vida. Sera q ele pegou alguma lagarta q vivia nessas folhas secas, ou tava tentando se camuflar?
