Deadly strike of the mantis.
Now, I see how the ancient chinese adopted and adapted the moves in martial arts, Mantis Style Kung Fu.

First strike is a miss.
Then grab and throw.
Last strike is a hit, locked down, immobilised the struggling prey and go for the kill.


Real COool !!!




This one is a little bouncy. Watch the shadow !

So before they(insects), or particularly mantis go extinct it is our responsibility to educate the general public, about preserving them for future generations. Mantis breeders and keepers alike have played important role in making them able co-exist in homes of humans, in the form of terrariums.

Because if it's aggressive hunting and killing ability, even can kill a prey larger than its own size.
I wonder can a mantis be handled like the way we normally do in handling a leopard gecko?
