A Praying Mantis is FAST. I saw this one munching on a spider. The spider still had 6 legs as I ran in the house and grabbed my camera. By the time I got back, the spider was down to 2!
When my oldest children were quite young, and I didn't know much about mantids, we sent two of the insects together in a jar for my daughter to show her young preschool friends. When I returned to collect her, there was only one mantid left, unless you count the head rolling around in the bottom of the jar...oops.
LOL! More of a nature lesson than intended! :-)
