A magnificent, yet small, mantis that had taken refuge on the cockscomb flower, n the early morning of the post monsoon trial, seemed a bit lethargic, probably due to the cold weather. With the lethargy, it seemed less bothered by our presence and, apart from keeping a keen eye with our activity, just stayed kaput on the flower, just flowing around with the mild breeze that kept o n blowing. The location of the beauty was a bit suspicious as it was at the top of the flower, not ideal for it as its predatory vibes may make it an easy target for its predator, but I guess it was either looking out for some prey or it was looking out for the best location to heat itself up
