This is the CONEHEAD MANTIS - An Insect With a Built-In Helmet! Native to parts of Africa and Asia, the Conehead Mantis is instantly recognizable by the pointed cone shaped head that helps it blend into grasses and leaves. This unusual look makes it a deadly ambush hunter, staying perfectly still until prey comes too close. Calm and precise, it relies more on camouflage than speed. That cone shaped head helps break up its outline, making predators miss it completely! | Amazing Nature
