Praying Mantises

By Colleen Sexton

Book Overview

These unique insects get their name from the position in which they hold their front legs together. These legs are also "preying" as they shoot out and grab insects for the mantis to eat. Students will learn about the other physical characteristics of praying mantises and how they use each body part.
