The mantis sits and waits for prey to come around. Once close, they lash out with their first pair of legs designed for catching and holding prey. They then eat the prey live with their mandibles.A praying mantis can also camouflage themselves as flowers so when theyre prey walks on to the flower/mantis it quickly kills it and eats it.
