Mantis Shrimp eat shrimps, fish, squid and octopus.
The Mantis Shrimp and Mollusks are both invertebrates, but the mantis shrimp is technically in the phylum arthropoda (meaning jointed foot) and a mollusk is from the phylum mollusca (meaning soft body, but usually has a hard shell).
The Praying Mantis have a triangular head used for turning 180 degrees to scan it's surroundings. That is one adaptation.
The male praying mantis dances around the female to impress her before mating. When feeling threatened, the praying mantis spread their wings and front legs with their mouth open so that they appear taller than their original height. If still feel threatened, the praying mantis will either bite or fly away from the predator.
