They curl up into a ball to wait out danger. Size: a little smaller than a golf ball.

Taken on the Kameng River crossing to Nameri National Park in Assam
Full Disclosure: I know little to nothing about insects. Therefore, it’s possible this bug isn’t in the Praying Mantis family at all. It just had a triangular head with bugged-out eyes and the folded up stabby arms, and I saw some in pics on the internet in which mantises had wings similar to this one.
If you know your insects and I’m wrong, please feel free to comment and I will own my mistake and fix it.

DAILY PHOTO: Imphal War Cemetery
Taken on May 5, 2017 in Imphal
Japan reached the end of line in its advance to the west in Northeastern India. Both Kohima in Nagaland and Imphal in Manipur have substantial war cemeteries. This is the one in Imphal. The graves are largely English names with crosses or Indian names with Hindi writing, but there are a few others of note. There are several unknown soldier graves, and a fair number of Muslim graves. There are also laborers who got only one name put on their grave, and–in the case below–the grave of a Chinese soldier.
It was a confusing time because many Indians were serving with the British to fight the Japanese, but other Indians were fighting Britain and trying to ally with Japan.
