Chameleons WILL turn blue. But it would make sense for an animal to slowly change to the color of its surroundings as long as they fall within the color scheme naturally found in the wild. You could argue orchid mantises sat on orchids too long and eventually started looking like them (over the...

Ah ok, ty rs4guy, but doesn't it make sense that a mantis will eventually take to the color of it's environment to camoflauge itself better?
