TEXT

The Orchid Mantis is beautiful, but it isn't vain - this type of praying mantis uses its shape and bright, flowery colours
to attract food and fool potential predators.

While it doesn't actually live on orchids, the orchid mantis looks remarkably like a flower, with body parts that
resemble petals. It lives in bushes and small trees that grow white and pink flowers.

Though generally white, the insect can turn itself shades of pink and purple within a few days to resemble the orchids
found in its humid habitat in Malaysia. It adapts to different conditions by detecting humidity and light and then
changing colours to blend in.

Unsuspecting insects that mistake the mantis for a flower may land nearby or even on top of it, allowing the pretty
predator to snatch them up for a quick meal. Flying insects such as butterflies and moths are the mantis' main
source of food, but it will also eat jungle fruits. The orchid mantis can also fly.

A female orchid mantis may grow up to about two and a half inches long, but the male grows only to about an inch.
Because he's smaller, he matures much more quickly than the female, and while she lives to about eight months, he
lives for just five or six months.

The male is also more jittery than the female, who needs to remain very still to attract her prey. One reason he might
be nervous is that when it's time to mate, a hungry female may eat him! Because of this, his best bet is to approach
her when she's already busy eating something else.

After mating, the female lays a cluster of eggs in a protein-rich foamy pouch called an ootheca. In about six weeks,
up to 100 baby mantises - called nymphs - will hatch, ready to become beautiful imitation flowers.

TEXT

All dog owners know that feeding their pets regular ice cream can make them ill, because many dogs
can't digest dairy products. Moreover, just like in humans, eating large amounts of sugar causes dogs to
become hyper and unfocused, and can also result in dental cavities, diabetes, and obesity. Now, thanks
to Mauricio Montoya, some lucky dogs in Mexico City are finally able to enjoy ice cream without their
owners worrying about any harmful side effects.
Mauricio says he wanted to make a dessert for dogs because there are already treats like strips of
jerky, bacon ,and cookies for them on the market, but no desserts. Montoya spoke to many veterinarians
before creating a recipe that was both safe and delicious. He called it Heladogs, because helado means
ice cream in Spanish.
The doggy ice cream is made using organic, lactose-free, and sugar-free yogurt, honey, and fruit flavors.
To make it even easier to digest, Montoya added Lactobacilli, which aids digestion in both humans and
animals. While there is no verbal confirmation, judging from the wagging tails and eager licks, the pooches
appear to be loving ice cream as much as humans do. The best part is that Heladogs is perfectly safe for
people as well, allowing owners to share their dog's ice cream.
