Praying Mantis

Description:

The praying mantis is an easy insect to recognize. They have a long narrow body that is stretched in the middle where the legs attach. They have a small triangular head with two large compound eyes. But most of all, they have those impressive, oversized front legs held upright in front of the face. They are usually found in a shade of green and brown. These are one of the most unique creatures I’ve found so far on project Noah.

Habitat:

The Praying Mantis is found in many differing habitats. They are generally located in the warmer regions, particularly tropical and subtropical latitudes. Most species live in the tropical rainforest, although others can be found in deserts, grasslands and meadowlands.

Notes:

I spotted this baby praying mantis on a rug on my grandmothers front porch.
