Q. Praying mantis is a good example of :

A) mullerian mimicry
B) warning colouration
C) social insects
D) camouflage
Explanation

[Solution from source] The praying mantis is green or brown like the leaves and twigs it sits on, so it is hidden from both prey and predators; this is camouflage (cryptic colouration). It is a solitary insect, so 'social insects' is wrong, and it shows no warning colours. Answer (4).
