Praying Mantis facts:
The Scientific Name is Mantis religiosa. They are carnivores which means they eat other animals, women even their own husband! Moths, crickets, grasshoppers and flies are on their diet. The average life span when they live in the wild is 1 year. Their size varies from 0.5 to 6 inches.
Typically green or brown and well camouflaged on the plants among which they live, mantis lie in ambush or patiently stalk their quarry. They use their front legs to snare their prey with reflexes so quick that they are difficult to see with the naked eye. Their legs are further equipped with spikes for snaring prey and pinning it in place.
