Choeradodis strumaria
Choeradodis strumaria, common names leaf mantis and hooded mantis, is a species of praying mantis native to French Guiana and Suriname; although there have been reports from other, distant countries, these are considered erroneous.

Description
The hooded mantis is also called the leaf mantis or leaf-mimic mantis because it mimics leaves. Like most other mantids, it is an ambush predator. C. strumaria is a chlorophyll-green colour and has a uniquely shaped hood; its wings have leaf-like veins that add to its perfect camouflage. It also has colorful patterns on the underside of its prothorax.
