Is a praying mantis a predator?

Answer 1

Birds, snakes, whatever justsohappens to stumble upon it with an empty stomach that the mantis itself doesn't eat... I guess.
Birds, lizards and Spiders, if it gets caught in a web. A big mantis will eat small lizards and birds, but a small mantis will be eaten by larger birds and lizards.

Answer 2

The Praying Mantis's main predators are large animals that have good sight. However, most of the animals do not see it often, as it has adapted and has camouflage, the ability for it to blend in with the rest of its surroundings. For example: If it is on a tree, it will match the trees bark color, now it will not be exactly the same, but it is very hard to spot especially if it is not moving.
Birds and bats eat praying mantises. Ants also feed on baby praying mantises
