Hidden Thorn Mantis

1 of 4 creatures I designed for my Creature Design Class. The idea was that this bug had evolved on an alien world to mimic the petals of a flower. It would sit in the middle of the flower, raise its pincers up, and snatch any prey that lands on the flower. I haven’t designed a lot of bugs before so I’m fairly happy with how this turned out!
