This is my entry for the #monomad challenge hosted and curated by @monochromes
I was really not aware of this mantis existance, as I was only looking at movement from a small colorful insect on the weed. And when I inspect more of the movement I realized that it dropped to the leaf underneath, with its head had gone, I was a little puzzled to why that kind of thing happening, but then I understand that it was the prey of this big mantis. I was basically ruining his breakfast that morning.
Look at his side eyes bombastic look, he must have been really annoyed by my disturbance so that he was losing his breakfast, and hard one to catch then it gone just because of my stupid act, only to notice the movement of his prey.
Here is his prey that was falling to the leaf underneath him. The head was already gone. I hope that the mantis will be able to get it back, to finish his meal.
