The praying mantis uses it's front feet to not only help the insect in it's stability when walking,but to also grab it's prey and kill it. Ever notice how the praying mantis has tiny spines on it's forearms?Well those spines dig into the prey when caught, thus making the prey unable to escape.

Could a baby praying mantis eat a June bug?

Yes, a baby praying mantis can eat a June bug, as they are both insects and a praying mantis is a carnivorous predator. Praying mantises use their quick reflexes and camouflage to ambush their prey, making them effective hunters even at a young age. However, the size of the June bug relative to the mantis will determine if the mantis can successfully capture and consume it. Generally, smaller June bugs might be manageable for baby mantises, while larger ones could be too big.
