“I’ll eat you.”
I’m sure that’s what this little guy was thinking. All while muttering under his breath, “Just if I was a little bigger. A little bigger”.
I enjoyed the stand-off with him. It reminded me of those kitschy 60’s Japanese horror films where overgrown insects take over Tokyo. Just minature. And not so scary. Because, if he were overgrown I would’ve been running in terror.
Just like in those movies.
But, in fact, this preying mantis is a vegetarian. He lives in Penang. And he’s designed to be perfectly camouflaged when resting in a tree. Even his wings look like dried leaves.
