Nairalander Finds A New Specie Of Insect Called Horn-head Mantis by Nobody: 3:40pm On Mar 09, 2019
It's a new kind of specie I had found it in my kitchen today. I call it the Horn-head mantis.

The African and Amazonian forest is estimated to have a new specie of flora and fauna every two second.
God still creates beautiful things even in this present time. I love you Jesus.

The colour could be caused by mimicry; a kind of adaptation to its environment or perhaps is it's genetic color.
A normal praying mantis are often found green and light brown as they age but this specie of the mantis that I had found is brown, dotted with some spots.

No it isn't, I reckon you check online. Check for the varying species of praying-mantis you wouldn't see this one there.

Couldnt dis be some form of mutation?:

Because for one to claim a new species of animal, you should be able to produce at least two of the species for analysis.

I guess a mantis. Bees are hasty when going for an attack but a mantis can be precise and patient, they know the right time to get a bee.
And even though a bee would want to use its sting on a mantis, that would perhaps be quite impossible based on a mantis had cover that can prevent it from having a sting

A subspecies of Mantis religiosa.
