the mantis when in wait for prey witch can be for up to a week its front legs are held in a prayer like position and it preys on other insects.
God did not make the Preying Mantis. The Preying Mantis formed over millions of years just as humans did through the process of evolution.
I believe it's from the position of their front legs, usually held together as if it were praying.
When the mantis is poised ,waiting for a chance to grab prey, it appears to some to be in a position of prayer.
The praying mantis is named as such because its arms are 'bent' in such a way that it has the appearance that it is praying.
When you look at them vlosly, they look like they are praying.
