Hymenopodidae
Hymenopodidae is a family of the order Mantodea (mantises), which contains six subfamilies. Some of the species in this family mimic flowers and are found camouflaged among them; these are called flower mantises. Their coloration is aggressive mimicry, luring prey to approach close enough to be seized and eaten.

Creobroter
''Creobroter'' is a genus of flower mantises in the tribe Hymenopodini; species are concentrated in Asia. The name comes from the Greek kreo-', meaning "flesh") and ''broter''" meaning "eating", therefore, "flesh-eating", an apt name for a predatory insect. Both sexes have long wings and are capable fliers. Full-grown males are about 3 to 4 cm in length; females are about 4 to 5 cm. Camouflage and mimicry As the common name indicates, ''Creobroter'' spp. are known for having varicolored (yellow, white, red, brown, etc.) markings, which serve as camouflage by hiding the creatures' actual shape and making them look somewhat like flowers when hiding amidst green foliage. The resemblance to flowers may be greater in subadults of ''Creobroter'' than adults. This flower mimicry is only partial, but is attractive enough to make ''Creobroter'' species favored as pets, especially as they are more common and less delicate than the more flower-like '' Hymenopus''.

Pseudocreobotra
''Pseudocreobotra'' is a genus of Sub-Saharan flower mantises. They are visually similar to ''Creobroter'' species of Asia, but belong to different subfamilies. Their forewings have prominent spiralled eyespots, which are flashed in a silent deimatic display, to startle would-be predators. The nymphs however, expand the raised abdomen in response to threats, to reveal a single dorsal eyespot. The species are easily reared in captivity. Species The species include: * '' Pseudocreobotra amarae'' Rehn, 1901 * '' Pseudocreobotra ocellata'' Beauvois, 1805 * '' Pseudocreobotra wahlbergi'' Stål, 1871 See also * List of mantis genera and species * Flower mantis Flower mantises are praying mantis species that use a special form of camouflage referred to as aggressive mimicry, which they not only use to attract prey, but avoid predators as well.
