The levitating past

ID: Molt of a bark mantis

Came across this beauty hanging onto a dried up tree trunk, wriggling along with the hot blasts of summer breeze. The sheer size of the molt seemed impeccable and there wasnt any visible strand onto which it was so independently hanging onto, making it look like magically levitating on the tree
