Plant or Insect

Is this a plant or insect?  A spectacular photo “This mantis looks just like flower it sits on, its color almost a perfect match to the purple orchid. At a glance, the insect in the Borneo rainforest in Malaysia appears to be part of a plant, but it’s simply using clever camouflage to hide from hungry predators.”  from msn.com.  Here’s the link to see more incredible photo’s by Thomas Marent: http://www.thomasmarent.com/galleries/insects.html
