Praying Mantis on Green Leaf

Having this kind of the creature around, allow us to oversee another side of nature beauty. It also encourages me to look for its existence and challenges me to get the detail of this small creature which sometime protect itself under the leaves from any harm that may come at anytime.The praying mantis itself is named for its prominent front legs, as you can see they bend and hold together at the angle of the praying position. I found this kind of praying mantis when I was hunting for the bee, it hid under the leaf. I carefully moved over and attempted to get a few shots. It was actually noticed by my friend and we took turned taking its photos as I believe, this is one of unique mantis that I've ever seen. Mantis was often found hunting on the rough bark gum tree trunk, usually not moving, but runs very fast when disturbed. As it was moving, I had some troubles to get the detailed focus.
