ID: Mantis(creobroter/flower mantis)
One of the most beautiful and photogenic specimens I came across while traversing the trail, this particular beauty had perched itself on the crepe ginger plant, and though initially curious about the intruding elements, in form of the macro set up, later though it turned back to its self-maintenance and surveying the surroundings. The strength of its eyesight could be experienced when it caught sight of an ant that was exploring another flower on the corresponding stem and though it didn’t seem to stalk it, but it kept on keeping an eye on it and getting back to keeping its limbs free
