Which of these species can rotate their heads nearly 180°?

They just asked this question. And I got it right for the second time.

I've answered this question - or one very much the same - at least once previously. Let me say once again that Mantis are one of very few insects (bugs) that I don't mind having around. I believe they eat other more "creepy" insects, and they look kinda neat as well.

Tajra, ooh, I've never seen a white one, only green..

ChampionNymph37634, good job 👏

ChampionNymph37634, same.

Player-T G 3503313, keep up the good work 👏

They r spooky but I love them, specially orchid white one

There was an episode of Buffy that had a substitute teacher who was actually a giant praying mantis. In one scene she achieved this feat. Yeah, that's the extent of my research.

my favorite insect. something kind of regal about them when they move and turn their head
