Id: Mantis nymph
Accidentally stumbled upon this beauty on one of the garden plants, and with it's almost curious look at the camera, the essence of peeping tom came to my mind. These ant mimicking mantis are pretty good at staying away from others notice due to its mimicry of ants. Generally pretty shy creatures, these tend to run off whenever it feels threatened or agitated, but also sometimes they seem to try and analyse the situation, probably something that took place at this moment
