This small preying mantis from the Kimberley region looks remarkably like a common ant it shares its habitat with, so much so
that I had difficulty convincing a colleague that I was not being funny when I told her it was an ant-mimicking preying mantis.
Later there was a discussion about the correct pronounciation of "batesian" given that this form of mimicry was first recorded by
Henry Walter Bates, not Norman Bates the famous psychopath.
