Description
A praying mantis lifts it's head up high while sitting on a blade of grass at a park in Springfield Missouri, United States. You can see the details of it's mouth. The name praying came from their front legs, which are bent at an angle that looks like they are praying or in the prayer position. They are in the insect family and have triangle shaped heads that can turn 180 degrees and long bodies. Don't let that cute smile fool you. They are dangerous to some mantis and some other insects. Sometimes the female will eat her mate during or after mating. They also eat other insects like moths, flies, and grasshoppers.
