the praying mantis is one of my favorite animals - as insects go, they just seem to have tons of personality and intelligence. i used to have a roommate who owned a flower shop, and if she ran across a praying mantis on the way to work, she'd scoop it up and let it roam around inside the store. free pest control, and it blended with the decor perfectly! | |

I love them. A giant one landed on my shoulder once in Thailand. I picked it up and put it on the table and boxed with it. You can actually box with them.

don't the female kill the male when they are finished with them?

I just saw a show on the Discovery Channel about the Praying Mantis. Did you know that after mating, the female mantis EATS HER MATE ALIVE!?!?!? I think they called it "post-coital cannibalism"....crazy, huh? They showed how the female bit the head off the male and the male kept trying to get away for a minute or so AFTER his head was bitten off! | |
