The frozen one
Spotted this beauty while something around it distracted my attention. Almost steady as the neighboring twigs, this beauty had almost very well camouflaged itself into the surroundings. TO my surprise it didnt move a mm apart from its head, kept itself put to this pose no matter how close I went. Didnt risk touching it though, might have hurt it.
ID help required as am confused if its a mantis in DSF or (if there is anything like) Stick insect mimicking mantis.
EXIF:

Kept the DOF at shallowest to avoid any ugly details of the background as it was completely surrounded with dried grass/twigs
