Hang Out On The Floor Sweeper

This sad-face Praying Mantis landed on my floor sweeper at the terrace. He looks cute at the first sight. I approached him and he look at me by turned his head and face heading to me. He seem like tried to say something to me. I said hello cute green, he kept watching me. I am sure he said something, just couldn't hear it ;D. Anyway, after I watched for a while, his right front leg could not be moved, he limped. And he has a wound at his back. I expected he could fly away but not with this one he remained in his place hours later.

Sharp Thorns Front Legs

This green has a thin triangle-shaped face with large eyes. He walked slowly with a long brackets with 4 rear legs and 2 front legs that have sharp thorns like garden scissors. When I approach him, he turned his face to me, really cute. Because I did not want him to be a meal for the cats at my place, I then moved him to the near flowers and grass area

Long Antenna

Praying Mantis has a long and thin antenna on its head, this antenna is easily moving blew by the wind and sensitive to any changes around it. He can know the enemies that are coming, the temperature and any changes in the wind.

Die Less Than 24 Hours

Since I found him first in the afternoon on the terrace of my house and the next morning, I found him dead. Don't know what caused it, but he couldn't move anymore on the branches of paper flowers and and when I touched it fell down. Ants on the ground began to surround him. Farewell, bye bye green Mantis.
