They are too cute...but I guess I am being biased.  :D

If I had that species I would be biased also!      Great Pic!  Gotta love the colors of the leaf they are on. Is the leaf from some begonia plant? Looks familiar.

 
I just checked and you are correct. Imho, orchids look much better on leaves like this  than competing with a flower in bloom. Read a study where the mantis stayed near but not on flowers and the prey insects were drawn away from the flower to the mantis. Nature at it's best.
