ID: Boxer mantis
Came across this beauty while on a look out for some interesting subject for macro photography exploration. Though it was very active and kept safe distance from the lens, eventually, may be out of curiosity or tiredness, it stopped and kept on moving/oscillating its antennae. The behaviour almost resembled that of a pet dog that waves/wags its tail when happy or excited.
