Mantis

Mantis

What looked like a bit of leaf on the ground suddenly reared up when I nearly stepped on it. Despite being very small he was quite ferocious and gave the end of my walking pole a brutal (although ineffective) beating when I gave him a little prod to see what he would do.

As soon as I wandered away he went back to being an unobtrusive leaf again.
