The Praying Mantis (Mantis religiosa) is named for its prominent front legs, which are bent and held together at an angle that suggests the position of prayer.

Ear - the mantis hears with an ear that’s hidden on its chest. And what it hears is beyond our range.

Eyes - the mantis has two large eyes. Mantis eyes are on the same plane and forward facing on its face, like humans. This is unique in the insect world. Even more unique is the way a mantis uses eye placement to its advantage on a head that swivels 180 degrees.

Hunting - Zeroing in on movement makes a mantis an efficient eater and a deadly lover. Mantises will consume anything they can catch, mostly insects but they have been know to catch small birds. In rare occasions the female praying mantis has been know to consume a male or two
