Praying Mantis

-

Description:

Very big green bug. Its eyes are enormous. It has some noisy wing flapping going on.

Habitat:

Jungle area and nature park. In plants.

Notes:

It was trapped inside our room in Kao Sok. It flew onto my head and got entangled in my messy hair :-( we released it back outside and it flew of immediately.

Great series! Not Sphodromantis viridis, which is an African species.
