This is my entry for the #monomad challenge curated by @monochromes today.

Good evening everyone, how are you all my friends, I hope you have a pleasant day and are in good condition. On this sunny day, I, as usual, went back around the small forest to look for small animal species objects, and that is my daily activity because I really like photographing small macro objects, and when I got there I immediately explored this small forest and hoped to get some small animal species on this sunny day.

And a few minutes later I found a species of praying mantis or better known by another name, namely Hierodula tenuidentata, and at that time I saw it crawling on one of the wild leaves and its body shape was rather long and large with a green color that looked so attractive and beautiful, and at that time I immediately approached it and took several portraits of the pictures that looked very beautiful and elegant, and you can see below some portraits of this species of praying mantis.

Hierodula tenuidentata is a species of praying mantis, sharing its common name giant Asian mantis with other large members of genus Hierodula in the family Mantidae.....Wikipedia

Then after I photographed this praying mantis species. And then continued my journey to another small forest area, and accidentally found a species of snout beetles or better known by another name, namely Curculionidae, and its rather small body shape with a gray color that looks so interesting, and without waiting long I immediately took several different angles of the picture, and managed to take several pictures that look very beautiful and graceful, and you can see them below.

The Curculionidae are a family of weevils, commonly called snout beetles or true weevils.....Wikipedia
