Predator on Pants!
Praying mantises are bold predators that stay still like a dead branch and act like lightening when the prey comes closer with their first pair of legs and eat the unwary creature. They are not venomous and are bold enough to get close to humans. In fact this little green mantis used the pant on my lap as vantage point to clean itself as well as checking the perimeter for prey and predators.
Note the many spiracle openings in the side of its abdomen that these insects used to breathe.
