A Praying Mantis as a live mascot on my vehicle hood!

This little beauty accompanied us through the morning. It first joined us near the entrance of the grassland when we were shooting some birds. And it didn't fly for the next 4 hours. After that I forgot all about it and when I reached home it wasn't there.

 

Praying Mantis are part of the Mantidae species and are known for predatory behaviors. They stalk prey like smaller insects and even smaller reptiles like frogs or lizards. They are not hard to find, but need to know where they are and how to find them. That is not in my skillset yet - I just enjoy their company.

 

Thanks in advance for the views and feedback if any.
