She's eaten a few males!

 

[John A. Larsen]

Several years back I was working in Virginia, watched a nature show about Praying Mantis, and thinking I had not seen one for many years. The next morning walked out to the rental car, and on the rear bumper was big Praying Mantis looking at me, and I swear it was thinking "If I can get him on the ground I can eat him." John

I saw one when I was a kid that I thought was a bird flying, still gives me the heebie-jeebies thinking about how big that one was, had to have been at least 8 inches head to tail.

I found one on my back porch a few days ago. I got him on a stick and took him 30’ away to the flower area and set him on a flower. He turned his head back and forth looking around taking it all in. I think he was happy with his new location.
