A typical posture of the mantis, while its comfortable with the environment, the beauty had got accustomed to my presence and seemed openly exploring the habitat, probably on a look out for some fresh catch. The posture used to changed the moment it suspected any threat, by pulling its front legs closer to its body to make it a bit too deceptive and may be also a tad too intimidating to wade away the threat.
