Description
This little guy (Praying Mantis) happen to hop into my house, so I court him in a glass and let him out, before I he jumped out he let me take one picture. He is only very little , the most 2cm long.
The next day I drive to dog park and the same guy sitting on my car, I got to dog park and when I get back from a walk he still there, and then he drove all the way home with me, when I got home I court him and put him on a tree, haven't seen him since, if this guy made it, he should be quite big now.
Mantises are an order (Mantodea) of insects that contains over 2,400 species in about 430 genera in 15 families. The largest family is the Mantidae ("mantids"). Mantises are distributed worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. They have triangular heads with bulging eyes supported on flexible necks. Their elongated bodies may or may not have wings, but all Mantodea have forelegs that are greatly enlarged and adapted for catching and gripping prey; their upright posture, while remaining stationary with forearms folded, has led to the common name praying mantis.
