Monomad: A Tiny Fighter

I caught this little guy in the bushes while hunting bugs. He was a brave mantis, even though he was so tiny in stature but had big guts.

When I aimed my phone camera at him, he responded as if daring me to fight with him.

His behavior is very cute and adorable. The forelegs were always folded, and the head was swayed frequently, mimicking the style of a Muathai fighter.

I told him that I didn't want to fight him because he was too tough for me. I just wanted to take pictures, frame one of his best portraits, and display it in my room. It seemed he understood and let me do my job.

This is another entry I submitted for the daily #monomad challenge.
