Lots of activity in the ghost mantis exhibit recently, and here you can see this species’ leaf-like body in motion! Native to East Africa and Madagascar, the ghost mantis is one of the smallest of the mantis species, and they blend in perfectly in their environment. They camouflage not only hides them, but allows them, as an ambush predator, to hunt, striking prey like flies and other small insects. #sfzoo #mantis | San Francisco Zoo
