Asian Ant Mantis (Odontomantis planiceps)

I saw this bug in the bushes and at first thought it was an ant. But are there any ants with green legs? Then as I got closer, I realized that it wasn't an ant but a tiny mantis.

Based on identification via Google Lens, this led me to a Wikipedia article, where I found that it was Odontomantis planiceps , commonly called the Asian ant mantis—physically, it does mimic a black ant, except for its bright green legs.

The behavior of this guy was the same as that of most mantises: the forelegs are always folded, and the head is always rocked in the manner of a boxer.
