Best Answer

Any praying mantis that I have seen walks very slowly, to the point where it is difficult to tell if the thing is going to move or not. If you put one on your hand or shoulder, it will walk around, but not very quickly. They tend to sit in one place for long periods of time. I am pretty certain they do not hop or do anything very energetic. I stand to be corrected on this since I am going purely on personal experience. They can fly.
