Field Notes

Description:

If this is a Mantis, it is my first one ever! He spotted me (or my shoe, picture 3-5) instead of the other way around. It looks like a very young one, but I have no clue to be honest :)

Habitat:

High altitude dry savanna woodlands (prim. Acasia bushes). This was close to a dry creek-bed. (Hyena pool)

Notes:

Mlawula Nature Reserve

Most definitely a Mantis. It must be young since it has no wings.
