Hymenopodidae
Hymenopodidae is a family of the order Mantodea (mantises), which contains six subfamilies. Some of the species in this family mimic flowers and are found camouflaged among them; these are called flower mantises. Their coloration is aggressive mimicry, luring prey to approach close enough to be seized and eaten.

gollark: I don't know much about old CC versions but they're generally backward-compatible for programs.
gollark: Oh dear, that looks like a CC internal problem.
gollark: <@215232595070418944> If you want it to work on older versions, it may just let you specify the host header if you use the other form which allows adding custom headers.
gollark: Although maybe it would be better to make it automatically turn on when the buffer empties a bit.
gollark: I'm not sure how you got that from "prioritize a function" but, er, just make it wait for a touch event on the screen after shutting it down, I suppose.
