Genus Hierodula	October 11, 2026	Central Aceh Regency,Aceh, Indonesia

This is an adult praying mantis that I managed to find inside my house. I found it around the kitchen area, and it was already quite large, so I was a little afraid to handle it directly. My mother noticed it too, and she immediately told me to take the mantis outside the house. So, I quickly moved it using a tree twig.

At that time, I moved this mantis onto an ornamental plant in front of my house. As soon as it landed on the plant, it immediately tried to run away and hide behind the leaves. Perhaps this was an opportunity for me to photograph it, although I should have taken pictures of this mantis while it was still inside my house so that I wouldn't have had such a hard time photographing it.It kept hiding behind the leaves and continued to avoid me, but I still tried my best to photograph it.

And now I will share some pictures of mantis grasshoppers here so that all my friends can see and enjoy them.
