Be careful what you stand on! Was taking pics of the Moss Frog when I noticed this tiny Praying Mantises 'swaying' on the mossy surface of the tree trunk close by.  One of them then walks over to the frog and was on the head of the Frog, which stays motionless and didn't try to eat them.  Hopefully they didn't get eaten, probably too small, as just tiny nymphs, around 1 cm in body size. Haania,Haania sp,Malaysia,Mantis,Moss Mantis,Penang,Praying Mantis Click/tap to enlarge
