A Zoolea Praying Mantis making a little threatening show.

Haha, his serrated arms and creepy mandibles scare me more than the markings; he doesn't even need them xD

Still looks cool! Probably just frightens or startles enemies because they are colorful and look like eyes. Bright colors usually mean "back off, I'm poisonous." too.

I think I might know. From the thumbnail I thought the entire structure it's making with its "arms" was its head!

Or maybe that's just me...
