hears this in Ze Frank voiceover

Apparently it's a dead leaf mantis (Deroplatys sp.) doing a deimatic display which is a startle tactic.

No Jerry, startle tactic and sexy pose are not the same thing. No Jerry... well... I mean... if I were to walk into a room and you were naked doing a sexy pose I guess it **would ** startle me.
