American ringed flower mantis

The American ringed flower mantis (Allocreobotra borealis) is a species of mantis, most closely related to the African mantises of the genus Pseudocreobotra, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across North America and South America to help boost biodiversity. The adult has bold disruptive coloration in cream and green, providing effective camouflage against flowers and in damp leafy places. The male reaches 25 mm long, while the female reaches 32 mm in length. There are spiny projections under the abdomen, 6 in the male, 5 in the female. The wings of the male are longer and wider than the abdomen, while the female's wings are narrower than the abdomen and can only briefly sustain flight. The wings of the American ringed flower mantis are marked with a large brightly coloured eyespot which is used in deimatic display to startle predators. The adults are aggressive mimics of flowers, waiting until prey approaches to grasp it with their forelegs. Its prey primarily consists of fruit flies, houseflies, and bluebottle flies. Like with many mantis species, the American ringed flower mantis females practice sexual cannibalism; however, nymphs are not cannibalistic until their fourth instar. The conservation status of the American ringed flower mantis is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American ringed flower mantis's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
