No, but meditating beetles do. They eat their mates as well!
Actually I live in south central Montana and just found a praying mantis in my yard this past weekend Aug-2012. I wonder if its the heat that brought them this far north??
a locus bug is the same as a locust someone has just confused us and a locust is a brownish black insect that looks like a grasshopper.
No it is not normal for a praying mantis to hang upside down
Actually, the reason why a Praying Mantids eye turns black is because it is in need of water, spraying their cage with some water should help, just dont spray directly on the mantis!
No, they wont harm humans. They physically can not harm humans! (:
Many creatures have symbolic meanings: Lion symbolises strength and power. Bear - power Fox - cunning Horse - stamina Stag - pride and independence Unicorn - chastity Cat - stealth and magic Beaver - builder Snake - cunning and trouble Bee - industry and immortality
during spring or winter or at night why? its bad to kill or cook or eat them (or feed them to a snake or something) those r rare
Facts: Mantises use camouflage to ambush their victims and to hide from other predators. Many mantises are green or brown so they can blend in with leaves, sticks, or other plant matter. Mantises can change their coloration after they molt, so some mantises in Australia and Africa will turn black after a forest fire so they can continue to match their surroundings. Other mantises living in tropical climates can have lighter colors. The tropical flower mantis is sometimes pink so it will resemble a flower. This deception can be so effective that insects or a hummingbird will sometimes land on the mantis thinking that it is a flower. That is likely the last mistake the insect or bird will ever make.
Mantises are usually considered beneficial insects in gardens because they prey on insects like Japanese beetles that feed on plants like roses.
Answer: If you have mantises in your garden, consider yourself lucky. They might look like prehistoric nightmares, but they are too small to be of any danger to a human being and they are not poisonous. The only consideration you might want to make is to keep bird feeders away from plant materials where the mantises might be hiding. This will protect unsuspecting hummingbirds and keep the mantises focused on killing bugs that are harmful to your garden plants.
Some Invertebrates like other mantises, beetles, butterflies, spiders, crickets, grasshoppers, spiders. And some Vertebrates like small tree frogs, lizards, mice and hummingbirds.
Praying mantises eat other, smaller types of bugs.
mantis eat crickets, flies, bees,hornets
and, sometimes depending on size and strength, small birds and mammals such as mice and south asia chipmunks .they also eat aphids and leafhoppers
Anything that moves and is about the right size! But seriously, they are a carnivore, sometimes they eat each other.
Praying Mantis babies eat small bugs, that are alive. You could use aphids, small flys, fruitflys. If it helps, hold the insect with tweezers in front of the mantis. Make sure the babies have water within 12 hours after they have hacthed, or they WILL die, no matter what. Try using a damp cloth or sponge. Also, if you have more than one Mantis baby, they will probably eat each other if they are not well fed.
Moth is an insect under order Lepidoptera like butterflies,
And yes it comes under kingdom Animalia so its an ''animal''
They can moult up to 1 - 2 times every 2 weeks as baby's, as they grow it should add approximately 1 weeks each time and all together can take a few months, once fully mature, they can live for up to 6 months.

No, but don't be fooled. The praying mantis looks like it's praying.
