Praying Mantis in our garden, Kodagu...

Is this insect called Pache pukka in kodava thakk?? :)
I was excited to find this Praying Mantis in our garden. The Praying mantis appeared calm and composed, and posed for the camera like a pro. I told grandma "Don’t kill them Thayi. They are good for your garden. They are natural pest controllers.” Thayi (believes in Ahimsa) was pleased to hear that.

Thatha called the Praying mantis 'Pache Pukka'!
