At first, I thought it was a black ant, but it wasn’t. After zooming in, it became clear that it was an Asian ant mantis. It was crawling stealthily like a little thief on a lantana flower. The little dark-bodied one with sparkling eyes was swinging two saw blades. Its behavior was similar to a butcher about to slaughter a criminal on stage. In that way, it might be able to scare anyone. What a cunning little guy! But, sorry! I didn’t fall for such cheap tricks.
This is another entry I submitted for the daily #monomad challenge.
