Praying Mantis



Saw this praying mantis when we were "slacking" downstair. Was quite excited as it's not often we spotted this type of green green insect. I even forgotten that it's called the praying mantis. I thought all green green insects with a size like this are called grasshoppers. =X




Do not confuse its name as "preying" as this insect is notoriously predatory. Larger speices have known to prey on small lizards, frogs, birds, snakes and even rodent. Surprise, surprise!



Sort of reminds me of the chinese mantis in Kungfu Panda.
