Pseudocreobotra wahlbergi, commonly known as the spiny flower mantis, is a vividly patterned mantid native to sub-Saharan Africa. Its compact body is adorned with green, white, and yellow hues, and its hindwings display a dramatic eyespot used to startle predators. Adapted to mimic flowers, it excels at ambushing prey among blossoms and foliage. This species thrives in warm, moderately humid environments and feeds on small flying insects. Both males and females are capable fliers, though females are bulkier and more sedentary. With its ornate appearance and bold defensive displays, P. wahlbergi is a standout among mantids.
