On this day I found an insect that is "Praying Mantis", I found it among some grass.

Praying Mantis has three pairs of legs, two pairs of back legs used for walking, while a pair of front legs is useful for catching prey.

Grasshoppers are insects of the suborder Caelifera within the order Orthoptera, which includes crickets and their allies in the other suborder Ensifera. They are probably the oldest living group of chewing herbivorous insects, dating back to the early Triassic around 250 million years ago. Grasshoppers are typically ground-dwelling insects with powerful hind legs which enable them to escape from threats by leaping vigorously.
