    Lizard: I'm 20x your size Mantis: Good, cause I'm really hungry

    Lizard: looks like dinner’s arrived. Mantis: good, i was starving.

    I've always found them to be totally gentle creatures. I guess it just shows the immense intelligence they posess.
  • Praying Mantises are wonderful insects. We have had pet ones for nearly a year since we found one on our front door. They are extremely curious, not scared of humans, and pretty much harmless (one of them did try to attack me when I hadn't fed it enough but it was more cute than anything else) so much that my wife and daughters really are happy to have them wander around on their hands and arms.

    No poisons or toxins. Just pure skill, strength and a little bit of prayer.

    When I was a kid, every spring I would search the fields and hillsides around my house for a mantis to keep as a seasonal pet. I would always release them in the fall. I thought they were so cool. Every day after school I’d toss my book bag in the house and run outside to hunt for grass hoppers to feed my Mantis. Great memories.

    Mantis: I'm a universal hunter! Grandma with a slipper: that's cute

    Lizard: "Any last words?" Mantis: "Yeah, call an ambulance but not for me."

    I just found a small mantis in the wild (a very young one) and decided to put it in an enclosure, I dropped in 3 small grass hoppers and after about 2 hours, when the mantis got comfortable in it's new environment, sitting on the stick that I left in, it patiently waited for a grass hopper to get near her and she snatched the life out of it. I've decided to keep this mantis and help her to her adulthood.
  • I have dozens of them living around my house every summer. I leave them water and they destroy our common enemy the wasps, hornets, and random spiders. Pretty slick deal in my opinion, every now and again I have to get photos cause they look cool to me.

    I caught a giant, green preying mantis when I worked night shift at a gas station when I was younger, so I can tell you for an absolute fact that they are vicious killers that I am thankful do not get much bigger. I kept it in a terrarium for over a year. I fed it all kinds of interesting prey. They will always attempt to kill and eat anything. Very cool, yet frightening pet.
  • Mantises were always my favourite insects (alongside bees), now I love them even more.

    i was smoking near a store and a praying mantis saw me. it was doing a little dance (moving side to side), and i figured it saw me as a threat or something. so i started mimicking it's dance, which fascinated the mantis so much it ran closer to me, like we became friends. so we both just did our little dance until my cig was out then i left. it was a strange event, but i danced with a praying mantis, so it was cool.
