Had To Move This Little Wonder to a Better Spot While I Do Yardwork. Safe🦺 Happy😀 Mantis 🐛
The praying mantis is one type that can change color from green to brown and vice versa. While in its nymph phase, the praying mantis can take on a brownish hue after molting. However, this change occurs gradually, over several days. Needless to say, this ability is not useful for quick camouflage.

In general, a mantis’s biggest advantage is its normal color. When they perch on a brown or green leaf, their colors create the camouflage effect they depend on. So, while only a few mantises actually change color, they take advantage of the changeable variations of light and color in their environment to accomplish striking feats of camouflage.
