As I waited a long time to meet the mantis, I looked everywhere for it, examined every blade of grass, every inch of land under my feet, for several days my search was fruitless, I even lost hope of finding it, but finally on the 3rd day I found it. My joy knew no bounds! Praying mantises are predatory insects that sit in ambush in a chosen place, if there is enough food, they do not leave it. They feed on other insects, arachnids and arthropods. Large species can hunt lizards, snakes, frogs and even rodents. While waiting for the victim, the mantis is immobile when it becomes within reach, grabs it with its grasping legs, holding it between the thorny thigh and the shin. The hind legs of the mantis are running, and the wings are also well developed.
The magic of the sunset doubles when it is reflected in the water. Today, as usual, I went to take pictures of insects and on the way back decided to click the sunset, purely for myself, I didn't even think that a good shot would come out, but to my surprise there was no limit when I came home and looked at the photo. It turned out to be a kind of mysterious and enigmatic atmosphere. I could not leave this photo unattended:).
