Praying Mantis
Hierodula sp
7.3997, 100.346
Field Notes
Description:
Mantises have two grasping, spiked forelegs ("raptorial legs") in which prey items are caught and held securely. As their hunting relies heavily on vision, they are primarily diurnal, but many species will fly at night.
Habitat:
forest/abandoned rubber plantation
Notes:
I saw this praying mantis on the island of Koh Mak in the gulf of Thailand. I lied down on the road to get this shot.
