PhotoBlog: Praying Mantis captured in Kerala..

It took me sometime to recognize that I am taking pictures of a "Praying Mantis". This is what I believe even now. Do let me know if its some other species.. Always good to learn new things!

  1. It is a mantis, whether praying or not is doubtful
    because there are many species of mantes itself

    Nice clicks though :D

    Stay Blessed ^_^

    1. I actually confirmed with some people who know more about Mantis and they feel based on the pic, it could actually be a praying Mantis.. I take your point too :)
