Today, as usual, I was busy monitoring my plantation area. As you know, the journey to my plantation is rewarded with extraordinary natural views, one of which is the view of Mount Goh.
The weather today is very pleasant, with the weather looking very sunny. When I checked the weather forecast on my phone, I saw that in the next few weeks, our area will experience hot weather, possibly reaching 32 degrees.
My friends...
These are some pictures I took showcasing the beauty of Mount Goh. This view I witnessed on my way to the plantation. The journey was also graced by the expanse of local plantations, mostly corn plantations.

| At that time I saw a snake that crossed me on the trip so I immediately took some pictures of it, but it was a bit unfortunate because this little snake was a bit agile so I couldn't take some pictures that showed more details of the reptile, but I think these few pictures will be sufficient and we can see the appearance of the snake at a glance, a little about the snake, that this snake is one type of non-venomous snake which I usually often encounter in the bushes in the plantation also with its brownish color which is usually almost the same as the color of the area where it stops, as well as its size which is usually the size of this snake is relatively harmless to us farmers | En ese momento vi una serpiente que se me cruzó en el viaje así que inmediatamente le tomé algunas fotos, pero fue un poco desafortunado porque esta pequeña serpiente era un poco ágil así que no pude tomar algunas fotos que mostraran más detalles del reptil, pero creo que estas pocas fotos serán suficientes y podemos ver la apariencia de la serpiente de un vistazo, un poco sobre la serpiente, que esta serpiente es un tipo de serpiente no venenosa que suelo encontrar a menudo en los arbustos de la plantación también con su color marrón que suele ser casi el mismo que el color del área donde se detiene, así como su tamaño que suele ser el tamaño de esta serpiente es relativamente inofensiva para nosotros los agricultores |
At that time, I saw a snake passing by me on the way, so I immediately took some pictures of it. However, it was a bit unfortunate because this small snake was a bit agile, so I couldn't take more detailed pictures of the reptile. However, I think these few pictures will suffice and we can see the appearance of the snake at a glance.
My friend...
This snake is a type of non-venomous snake which I usually encounter in the bushes in plantations, also with its brownish color which usually almost matches the color of the surroundings where it stops. Likewise, its size is usually relatively harmless to us farmers.

| Next one of the insects caught my attention, it is a praying mantis, which is one of the insects that is spread throughout the world in temperate and tropical habitats, this insect has a triangular head with protruding eyes that rest on a flexible neck as you can see in some of the pictures I shared and their bodies are also elongated and flexible where their elongated bodies may be winged or not, but what I found this time is winged and most importantly they have very enlarged front legs and are adapted to catch and grip prey. Their upright posture when still with their front arms folded resembles a praying attitude so that it gives rise to the common name of praying mantis and that is the name we often call for the mantis. One interesting fact that is found in the Praying Mantis is that this insect is able to rotate its head up to 180 degrees which gives it almost 360° vision and it is one of the insects that can do that, usually we can see them rotating their heads up to 180 degrees when they lock their gaze on moving prey when hunting with the aim of keeping the prey in the center of their field of view | A continuación, uno de los insectos me llamó la atención, se trata de una mantis religiosa, que es uno de los insectos que se extiende por todo el mundo en hábitats templados y tropicales, este insecto tiene una cabeza triangular con ojos salientes que descansan sobre un cuello flexible como se puede ver en algunas de las imágenes que compartí y sus cuerpos también son alargados y flexibles donde sus cuerpos alargados pueden ser alados o no, pero lo que encontré esta vez es alado y lo más importante es que tienen patas delanteras muy agrandadas y están adaptadas para atrapar y agarrar presas. Su postura erguida cuando aún tiene los brazos delanteros doblados se asemeja a una actitud de oración, de modo que da lugar al nombre común de mantis religiosa y ese es el nombre que a menudo le damos a la mantis. Un dato interesante que se encuentra en la Mantis Religiosa es que este insecto es capaz de girar su cabeza hasta 180 grados lo que le da una visión de casi 360° y es uno de los insectos que pueden hacer eso, usualmente podemos verlos girar su cabeza hasta 180 grados cuando fijan su mirada en una presa en movimiento cuando cazan con el objetivo de mantener a la presa en el centro de su campo de visión. |
After taking several pictures of the snake, one insect caught my attention. It had a relatively unique shape, in my opinion. It was the Praying Mantis, an insect found throughout the world in temperate and tropical habitats.
My friend...
This insect has a triangular head with prominent eyes resting on a flexible neck, as you can see in some of the pictures I've shared. Its body is also elongated and flexible. While its elongated body may or may not be winged, the one I found this time has wings. Most importantly, it has very enlarged forelegs adapted for capturing and gripping prey.
Their upright posture when still, with their forelegs folded, resembles a prayer pose, hence the common name "praying mantis," which is the name we often use for this species.
One of the interesting facts that can be found in the Praying Mantis is that this insect is able to rotate its head up to 180 degrees which gives it almost a 360° view and it is one of the insects that can do this, usually we can see them rotating their heads up to 180 degrees when they lock their gaze on moving prey when hunting with the aim of keeping the prey in the center of their field of view.

| Praying mantises were considered to possess supernatural powers by ancient civilizations including ancient Greece, ancient Egypt, and Assyria. A popular cultural trope in cartoons depicts the female praying mantis as a femme fatale, and praying mantises are among the most commonly kept insects as pets. Praying mantises are mostly ambush predators, but some ground-dwelling species are known to actively pursue their prey. They typically live for about a year. In colder climates, adults lay eggs in the fall, then die. The eggs are protected by a hard capsule and shed in the spring. Females sometimes engage in sexual cannibalism, consuming their partners after copulation. | Civilizaciones antiguas, como la Grecia, el Egipto y Asiria, consideraban que las mantis religiosas poseían poderes sobrenaturales. Un cliché popular en las caricaturas representa a la mantis religiosa hembra como una femme fatale, y se encuentran entre los insectos más comunes como mascotas. Las mantis religiosas son principalmente depredadores de emboscada, pero se sabe que algunas especies terrestres persiguen activamente a sus presas. Suelen vivir alrededor de un año. En climas más fríos, los adultos ponen huevos en otoño y mueren. Los huevos están protegidos por una cápsula dura y se desprenden en primavera. Las hembras a veces practican el canibalismo sexual, consumiendo a sus parejas después de la cópula. |
