TCDC, Not gross but the reality of nature. Nature is not kind, gentle, forgiving or compassionate. Nature is frequently cruel.

hence the name "Preying Mantis"

I live by Indian Point N.Y. a nuclear reactor power plant about 1 mile away. Last spring I was outside having my Morning Coffee and saw this Praying Mantis it had to be at least 6 inches long.
Looking straight at me

Had one of these creatures living in a top corner of entry to my house. It was near the porchlight, and the mantis was pure white & about 4-5 inches long. Weirdest looking "bug" I've ever seen because of its white color. I've always been curious if it was an albino or if the porchlight caused strange coloration.

I have been bitten on the arm by one and it made a funny effect go off in the brain. It must have hit a nerve or the toxin in the bite

I found one in my kitchen yesterday. It must have been confused!

Just yesterday, first time I've ever seen a Deep Dark Brown 1! very interesting and watched it for @ least 5 minutes as it was a stinking HOT day and it spent a long time finding shade 😎

one can be deceived into thinking that they feed only on plants

bigfish92946, funny enough research suggest the only eat the male if food is scarce meaning its a males sacrifice for his young not an aggressive act by the female.

There's a reason a whole fighting style is created after them. They are beautiful and ruthless. Women!...am i right guys. lol

forgot. My son thinks it's hysterical. Even their little babies freak me out.

they are evil and will get you!!! or me. One of my biggest phobias. When I was a kid, there was one on the steps outside. It didn't move for hours! (at least it seemed like that.) I just watched it from a safe distance until my brother got home. I never

AwesomeAnnie7, You think that's some kind of clever play on words. But, TRUMP doesn't HATE ANYBODY.!!! Keep listening to CNN, getting only ONE point of view, & you'll think the World will end in 12 years. Says: A.O.C.

Arwen933, That's True. I saw the video on one of those Nature shows. They're more likely to RIP the head off their mate, & then eat them.
