I'm very interested to see one, but they scare me to death when they fly near me. Plus I can't walk near one if it's just chilling for the fear of it eating my face.

They really dont call it a praying mantis because it looks like its praying, it's because of the way it stalks its prey.

If that's true, wouldn't it be called a Preying Mantis? I don't get it.

Not true, in others languages they're called with their "praying" equivalent. Like "mantis rezadora" in spanish; "rezadora" means "someone who prays".

We call it "Mantis Religiosa" ("Religious Mantis").

I used to keep orchid mantis (Hymenopus coronatus) and they are among the most beautiful insects in the world.
When they feel threatened by a predator they spread out their limbs and look like an orchid.

I'd say more awesome than cute.

I once read that praying mantises do not in fact eat the male during mating naturally; they do it because they're being watched and it makes them anxious. Hidden cameras have revealed a completely normal mating cycle.

Mantises are quite charming. the way they look at you, it's like a natural defence saying "Don't touch me, i'm Awesome"
>> Kelly
Yeah I tend to consume the male, too due to anxiety while being watched during mating.

It happens. lolz
