I saw this beast flying off from our verandah when I turned the light off early morning.

Here it is. Just visible even when I cropped the picture.

The moment the moth gets ready to fly, it is a different story! Quite beautiful.

This beast flew into our campsite at Nsobe, Bangweulu wetlands, Zambia so you know you are not looking for a mammal (maybe a bat?)… Anyway, look for it on the second picture as it will be hard to find it in the first one!

The Nsobe campsite where the beast was detected.

The beast is there somewhere…
It is not easy! So I reveal it below…

It was a “super flat” Praying mantis, always a great find.
