Really silly holiday Pokemon asks that I made for the holiday season.

I know that I am a little late for Hannukah (and I believe Kwanzaa as well), but I hope that all of you celebrating the holidays are having a wonderful holiday season. uwu

I really tried not to make this focus too much on any one holiday, so that any Pokemon listed can be asked, rather than a bunch of Christmas-related questions that really only apply to people celebrating Christmas. I tried to consider the ideals of the other holidays as well, and use Pokemon that reference different winter holidays.

Belated happy hannukah, and happy kwanzaa, as well as merry early Christmas and happy solstice. For all the holidays I am missing that are in December, I hope that they are wonderful as well. c:

FATAL ATTRACTION
THE SPINY FLOWER MANTIS
Native to southern and eastern Africa

While at rest Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii is well camouflaged. In fact, its imitation of a flower is so good that prey insects will attempt to pollinate it. Instead, the mantis seizes and eats them. P. wahlbergii is very aggressive and has the ability to kill prey several times larger than itself

The top photo shows the spiny flower mantis in a threat display, spreading its forewings,making itself appear larger, and prominently displaying its eyespots to startle would-be predators.
