Fun Facts:

[  ] One of their main predators are bats. The Mantis however, can detect the bats echolocation sounds, giving them the opportunity to escape.

[  ] About 28% of mating encounters, concede with the female biting off the head of the male and eating him. This behavior is thought to increase reproductive success.

[  ] They have one ear which is on the underside of their stomach

"The mantis comes to us when we need peace, quiet and calm in our lives. Usually the mantis makes an appearance when we've flooded our lives with so much business, activity, or chaos that we can no longer hear the still small voice within us because of the external din we've created. After observing this creature for any length of time you can see why the symbolism of the praying mantis deals with stillness and patience. The mantis takes her time, and lives her life at her own silent pace."
