双语描写作文：兰花螳螂 （Formal Description）
Hymenopus coronatus, the orchid mantis, is a remarkable creature. Against any opponent but a careful entomologist with a cardboard box, the mantis is a lethal hunter and master of camouflage. Its four front legs, head and thorax are covered in delicate structures resembling colorful flower petals. In appearance, it looks like nothing so much as a praying mantis covered in beautiful painted fans.
兰花螳螂(Hymenopus coronatus)是一种非凡的生物。对付任何对手，螳螂是一个致命的猎人，是伪装大师，昆虫学家需要用一个纸板箱并且小心翼翼，才能对付它。它的四个前腿，头部和胸部覆盖着精致的结构，类似于五颜六色的花瓣。从外观上看，它看上去无非是被美丽的彩绘风扇所覆盖的螳螂。
As for its behavior, like any good mantis, it is an ambush predator. It takes full advantage of its unique appearance, settling amongst the petals of orchids and awaiting visiting insects. It favors butterflies and moths for its meals, but will happily take any insect on offer. Indeed, it need not even be an insect: particularly voracious orchid mantises have been known to feed on small lizards, frogs, mice and even birds.
至于它的行为，就像任何优秀的螳螂一样，它是伏击捕食者。它充分利用了其独特的外观，在兰花的花瓣间安顿下来，等待昆虫的到来。它偏爱蝴蝶和飞蛾作为饭食，但乐于接受任何昆虫。确实，它甚至不必是昆虫：众所周知，特别贪婪的兰花螳螂以小蜥蜴，青蛙，小鼠甚至鸟类为食。
Its behavior among its own kind is no different. Like many mantises, orchid mantises are opportunistic cannibals. They don't go out of their way to devour their own kind, but should one stray into striking range of another when it's feeling peckish, it may well become a meal. H. coronatus is not recorded as performing the praying mantis's infamous reproductive cannibalism, however.
它在自己的种类中的行为也不例外。像许多螳螂一样，兰花螳螂是机会主义者，也会戕害同族。他们不会竭尽所能地吞噬自己的种类，但是如果一只兰花螳螂感到饥饿的时候，有另外一只螳螂误入其攻击范围，那它很可能会成为一顿美餐。但是，兰花螳螂没有记录到在繁衍过程中性食同类的现象。
Its relationship to humans is neutral, verging on positive. H. coronatus is not an ally of the committed gardener like the aphid-devouring ladybug, but it will nibble on any pests that present themselves. Aside from that, the orchid mantis is only valuable to humans for its extraordinary beauty.
它与人的关系是中立的，与人之间是积极的关系。兰花螳螂不会像瓢虫那样，吞食蚜虫，成为忠于职责的园丁的盟友，但它也会蚕食任何出现在身边的害虫。除此之外，人类喜欢兰花螳螂，概因其非凡的美丽。
Hymenopus coronatus is an example of a unique form of beauty that exists only in nature, careless of human judgment, designed for function rather than form, but still capable of making an observer catch their breath at its strange loveliness.
兰花螳螂有一种独特的美，这种美丽形式仅存在于自然界中，无需人为评判，为功能而设计，而不是为形式而存在，但仍然能够使观察者因其奇特的可爱而屏住呼吸。
