Arp 188 and the Tadpole’s Tail

Hymenopus coronatus (Olivier, 1792)
the walking flower mantis / orchid-blossom mantis / (pink) orchid mantis
Found in SE Asia rainforests (Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Singapore and Western Ghats of India).
These organisms can switch between brown and pink depending on the color of the background.
They have significantly pronounced sexual dimorphism relative to other mantis species. That is- the males can be less than half the size of the female.
This camouflage is considered to be potentially a self defense mechanism and/or a form of mimicry that helps it blend with the orchid to capture insect prey.

I’ve been 18 for a week now being an adult is fun!
“listen i know what you want & i get it but i just can’t do it right now my balls are literally aching”
me:
my professor always watched me write when doing research and he’d be like “yknow you’re supposed to be smart like me! left handed people are smart!” like he forgets every single time.
today he said “yknow that’s why you are brilliant, left-handed!”
