It's actually not even a mantid. It's a mantidfly, but related to lacewings and antlions.

What causes animals to evolve to look dangerous, instead of evolving to actually be dangerous?

Can i be the one that asks whats going on with that preying mantis? Why is it that colour?

Not a praying mantis. It's a mantid fly. The original post had the name and a bit of info on it.

Mantidflies actually tend to eat spider eggs. And as someone who legitimately adores spiders, that's kind of nightmarish.
