Will a horse eat a praying mantis and if it does is it poisonous to the horse I heard it will kill the horse instantly?

No, the horse will not die.The horse will not die and it is very unlikely that it will eat one.No, horses will not be harmed by the praying mantis.These bugs may "spit" a brown substance around their mouths as a defensive regurgitation like some other insects do, but this secretion is not dangerous to mammals. It is also a myth that they can be harmful to, blind, or even kill humans. However, to explain how these myths started: people confuse the praying mantis sometimes with other insects like the walking stick insect that can actually "spit" secretions away from itself in defense of predators. The substance they spit can cause irritation where it hits, and even temporary blindness if it hits an eye. One such type among the particular walking stick species that spit this substance is in the genus Anisomorpha. Another note: dead bugs can often be found in hay (they are on the plants when they are baled). I don't know about a praying mantis, but there is something called a blister beetle that can be found in hay. Horses that eat these bugs on accident will get colic and can die within two days.Horses eat fruit, vegetables, and other plants. I have never heard of a horse eating a praying mantis. I guess if the praying mantis was on a plant and the horse didn't see it so they went to eat the plant and accidentally ate the praying mantis, too, then they could die if the praying mantis was poisonous. But horses usually don't die quickly, unless they're shot in the head... Well, I guess it could be possible, a horse being poisoned by a praying mantis. But, let me tell you, it is very unlikely.If your horse DOES eat a praying mantis (the dead bug) call the vet right away. If your horse eats it it is probably stupid or more likely values food very much or is starving. Also praying mantis' are very rare to find in the united states and very common in Europe and Asia.
