And yes, I finally managed to find a praying mantis again, now the population of this mantis is dwindling in my area and it is very difficult to find it. Previously, this mantis was very easy to find even once it entered the house, even when I was little I often looked for and played with this praying mantis, this mantis is not dangerous to humans and has a very unique body shape.
This praying mantis is very small and elongated, somewhat resembling a toothpick. Its body shape also resembles several small tree branches, making it easy for it to hide or camouflage itself with the surrounding tree branches, making it a truly unique species.
At that time I managed to find this praying mantis in one of the wild plants, at first I thought it was just a tree branch but luckily this praying mantis moved so I immediately realized that it was a praying mantis, I took it and moved it to a brighter place and I immediately took a picture of it.
