Defenses breached 4 (Praying mantis) 入侵4

I was shooing a spider out of my room to the veranda when I spotted this large cute looking praying mantis. If you remember, my place had a lot of insects like worms, cicadas and mosquitoes. However, this was my first time seeing a live praying mantis in such close proximity. It certainly looked clean and green like our Singapore courtesy frog. Its body was approximately 7-8cm and its head can turn backwards. I was crazily taking macro photos and video for about 10mins.
在趕一隻蜘蛛出去陽台時，發現了一隻又大又可愛的螳螂！假如讀者還記得的話，我的房間有很多昆蟲類，例如蟲子，蟬和蚊子。不過，這是我第一次看到還活著的螳螂!!! :D 它的身體就像我們的新加坡綠化青蛙一樣綠油油的。身長約7-8cm，頭也能往後轉呢！我就這樣在那裡蹲了約10分鐘狂拍照片。

Unfortunately this mantis was apparently unable to climb over my veranda walls to return to its beloved tree dwelling.
很可惜，這隻螳螂似乎無法攀越陽台的圍牆。

It even started to move towards me when it noticed that my camera was close and not moving much. So I retreated back into my room and closed my doors. However, I noticed that it still couldn't climb. Pitying its fruitless effort, I put on my rubber gloves to grab it and throw it out. Its body felt rather soft but its grip on the walls was rather firm. I watched it flew(?) down from the 4th floor to make sure it was still alive after release.
到後來當它發現我的相機時，就慢慢逼近！所以我只好回房關門躲避。可是它的攀牆技術果然還是超爛的-_-。所以我戴上了洗衣的橡皮手套來把它扔出去。雖然它的身體軟軟的，但是夾牆的力量倒是蠻大的。我從4樓的陽台把它扔回草叢中時，還確保它的確有展開翅膀飛下去（也就是還沒翹辮子）。

Meanwhile, I'm not sure if it was him or the rubber, but my gloves smelled really bad for a moment...
不知道是不是因為它，還是我的橡皮手套本來就很臭，事後總覺得手套好臭呢！

Besides praying mantis, I also caught a cicada(5cm) 2 months ago when it landed into my veranda. Because it became ridiculously noisy, I do not recommend catching this crazy ugly thing.
除了螳螂之外，2個月前還抓到了一隻自投羅網的蟬(5cm)。真是吵死了！下次不抓這隻醜東西了。
