wow! aren’t they interesting to study? when other tourists are so scared of lions and other big cats; i told them just beware of the little bugs! they are far more powerful or dangerous than a lion.
Maybe family Amorphoscelidae, but you’d have to get Dino Martins to confirm.
Scratch that! Apparently its a Bark Mantid, family Mantidae Tarochedes spp.
