South Africa - Plettenberg Bay - 14 May 2020 - Alexander Ritchie holds a mantis in a garden in Plettenberg Bay. From Wikipedia "Mantises are an order (Mantodea) of insects that contains over 2,400 species in about 430 genera in 15 families. Mantises are distributed worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. They have triangular heads with bulging eyes supported on flexible necks. Their elongated bodies may or may not have wings, but all Mantodea have forelegs that are greatly enlarged and adapted for catching and gripping prey; their upright posture, while remaining stationary with forearms folded, has led to the common name praying mantis."
