The Museum
The Orchid Mantis can be donated to the museum. Upon doing so, the following text is given by Blathers:

"Orchid mantises look like orchids and use them as camouflage for protection from predators. While this camouflage keeps them safe, is also helps them to surprise any prey that comes to the flowers. They are usually carnivorous, but they still eat the occasional banana to balance their vitamin intake."

Quote
Upon catching the insect, the player will say the following:

"I caught an orchid mantis! My eyes see all!"
