I recently saw another of those in IISc, and showed it to my friend's daughter. If you hadn't pointed it out to us, I would have just dismissed it as another ant!

Was this during this NTP? And is it called the "praying" or "preying" mantis? "Praying" would be because it does look as if it's praying...and "Preying" because its such a voracious predator.... Certainly, I watch such scenes with a more pragmatic mind these days, but still there are moments of tension! That..is such a wonderful photograph Karthik! Was this during this NTP?

Poor butterfly. I wonder what to think about the predator-prey relationship. When I saw a cheetah chase a gazelle in the Serengeti, my heart was in my mouth, willing the little gazelle to run faster. It escaped, and as the tired cheetah stopped and stared, I saw her cubs in the distance. She would have to try again, to feed them. Whom to feel sorry for?! Beautiful shot! Poor butterfly.
