Found A Ultramarine Pill Bug Today
CrunChewy McSandybutt 5 years ago
According to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), pill bugs turn this blue color when they are infected with a virus that thins their exoskeleton. Their blood is blue, so they turn blue when this happens.

This is not an orchid mantis, this is another Spiny Flower Mantis. The colors are likely photoshopped, or at least enhanced, although some individuals do get very bright colors.
