Mantis-fly, France.

Mantis-flies provide an excellent example of convergent evolution, where superficially similar features evolve in unrelated organisms. The heavily modified front legs used for seizing prey give them a striking resemblance to praying mantises, but mantis-flies belong to a completely different group of insects, the lacewings (Neuroptera).

Similar grasping front legs have evolved independently a number of times in insects, in groups such as assassin bugs, flies and thrips.
