China may be the place where the praying mantis first was discovered. The insect in question (Mantodea family) receives praises as the symbol of courage in the third-century B.C. Chinese dictionary and encyclopedia Erya. Modern taxonomic recognition nevertheless takes as its start time 1838, the date upon which Karl Hermann Konrad Burmeister (January 15, 1807 - May 2, 1892) invented the common name praying mantis and the temperate and tropical denizen's Linnaean classification.
