The lizard probably thought that it has its next lunch as he planned to lunge at a nearby praying mantis. However, the mantis decided to pull a cunning counterstrike hold the lizard’s jaws apart.
One would think that a praying mantis couldn’t have the strength to pull open a lizard’s jaw - but they have the quickest of reflexes and spiked legs to pin their opponents or prey down. So it’s no surprise that the mantis was able to fight against the unsuspecting lizard. If you like, you can see how the whole interaction unfolds (but if fighting animals isn’t a thing for you, don’t).

Not only the moves, but the strength of the praying mantis' appendages and jaws. Impressive!

That bug completely owned the lizard! Never underestimate insects. Even they are smarter than we think.
