The Orchid Mantis 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. The Tribune QUESTION 1) The Orchid Mantis uses colours to avoid danger.

Comic Book day If you are a comic book fan or just love free things, you are in luck because Saturday, May 6 is Free Comic Book Day. As the name indicates, it is the day when retailers across the globe will give out free comic books to anyone that walks into the store. Celebrated on the first Saturday of May, the annual event, which began in 2002, is the brainchild of retailer Joe Field. The owner of Flying Colours Comics & Other Cool Stuff was inspired by the success of similar events like Free Cone Day and suggested the idea to retailers, publishers, and distributors. He believed it would make people, both young and old visit their neighborhood store and revive interest in comic books. Over the past sixteen years, retailers have given away over 12 million comic books and the numbers are only growing. Not every comic book in the store is free. However, with 50 specially published titles to choose from, there is something to suit every taste. Even if none of the free offerings catch your fancy, a visit to the store might still be worth the effort. That's because vendors usually discount all comic books and other merchandise on this fun day. The Tribune 1) What is the writer's main aim in writing the text?
