Found this very different looking praying mantis (??) during evening time. It started hiding after i took two photographs. As tree was too complex, it was impossible to find him again!
Hi Adarsha, you don't have to carry a ruler if you know the size of your finger. My forefinger is 1 cm wide at mid-nail and you can be pretty accurate with that.
You are right Lauren! very weird :)
I guess from now onwards, i should keep a scale while going out inorder to measure size!
Thank you Vipin :) But i still wonder how a praying mantis can be so big :)
Thank you so much for suggestion :)
If this is a Mantis, it is the weirdest one I've ever seen... it does seems to have mantis front legs. What is that thing on it's back? How big was it?
OMG Adarsha!!! This is a Mantis!!! A brilliantly camouflaged Mantis!!!
So Beautiful!!
I thought may be a tree hopper nymph!
Hope i can get few more detailed pics this time when i go!
