Look out! They know kung fu! THEY KNOW KUNG FU! *cowers in fear* Their bark is worse than their bite... usually. *returns to cowering in fear at the memory of the biting mantis*
[Image]Time for another mantis bonanza. I can't find who to credit for these photos, but I'm assuming they belong to the uber-talented Igor Siwanowicz.
Most of these specimens are of the exotic Asian variety. Asia gets all the cool mantids (even most of the ones you encounter in North America are Asian imports).
