Swipe the slideshow (4 pic). This Praying Mantis sitting on his favorite spot on the top of an equator monument, has no idea that each half of his body is in one hemisphere! The center line on the ball marks the north-south separation. We were filming on the island of Rolas, in São Tomé and Príncipe in West Africa, right on the equator. This mantis remained on top of the monument the entire day, sometime in the northern hemisphere and sometime in the south! @natgeocreative @natgeo #africa #saotome #mantis #equator
