The Malaysian Orchid Mantis just might be the biggest trickster of the animal kingdom.
This bug mimics real orchids so well, it deceives pollinating bugs into stopping by for a visit.
Instead of collecting pollen and nectar, the bugs become a meal for the mantis.
The orchid mantis was discovered in 1879 when an Australian journalist took a trip to Indonesia and returned with stories of bug eating flowers.
What he actually saw was the orchid mantis.
