Praying Mantis

The egg case can be moved, but not the individual eggs. The only way to even retrieve a sample of an egg that is dead will be to cut the egg case open and they are hard to remove, for they're more tightly packed than honeycomb. To move an egg case however, either remove the surface that it's on from the plant etc. or simply slip a thin knife behind it and it will peel off.

The praying mantis lives in dark holes of a houes or in the notches of a tree.

Yes. From what I know all types eat them but I cannot be 100% accurate on that.

the praying mantis eats all of the slugs and other bugs such as ants and pests that eat your flowers and plants.

Praying Mantises eat many small insects, including grubs.

It is "Praying Mantis", because the mantis frequently holds its front legs up and pressed together in front of it, like a person praying.

A Praying Mantis bites off their mates head after having sex. And they can turn their heads side to side 180 degrees.

Yes, Praying Manti are known to bite, although not unless it feels threatened.

I am almost positive it is cold blooded but some sources say it may be warm blooded.

No. It is not illegal to keep, kill, touch, collect, or in any way harm a praying mantis in the United States. They are not endangered, nor are they even that rare in most areas. In fact, the Praying mantis found in much of the United States is actually an invasive species from Europe introduced in 1899. There is a common Old Wives Tale that the praying mantis is protected and cannot be killed, but this is not true. The only occasion in which it would be illegal to catch or kill a mantis is in a Narional Park or other protected land where all the wildlife is protected. For further information, consult the Snopes page on praying mantises.

Medium size, rare, can be multiple light colors, eats insects

No They are born from an egg that is layed by a mother praying mantis.

Yes, all insects have exoskeletons.

A producer (also known as an autotroph) is an organism that is able to make complex chemical compounds (i.e, food) from sources of energy in the form of light or heat. Plants, which use sunlight, or tube worms, which use heat from deep sea vents, are examples of producers.

A first level consumer (also called primary consumers) gain their energy from eating producers. This category includes herbivores such as deer, elephants, horses, etc.

A second level consumer (also called a secondary consumer) gains it's energy through predation, or the catching and eating of other animals. Praying Mantids fall in this category. Mantids eat mainly insects, although they have been known to eat small amphibians, reptiles, and even the occasional hummingbird.

A decomposer is an organism that gains it's energy from dead or rotting material. Since Praying Mantids eat primarily live prey and not pre-dead carcasses, they are not considered decomposers.

They don't. Egg sacks are dormant during the winter and hatch after a few weeks of warm weather.

No, a praying mantis is an insect.

The plural of praying mantis is praying mantises or praying mantes. The plural of grasshopper is grasshoppers.

Yes, I have one in a cage and i just saw it lay an egg sack. I'm expecting 100 little insect babies now...
Yes, praying mantises lay eggs.

Count the segments on their abdomen. If the abdomen has 6 segments, it's a female. If it has 8, is a male.

Females also have wider abdomens than males.

The colors do not matter. The color only helps determine what species it is.

No, instead, it has an exoskeleton [the outer shell].

No, A praying mantis has an exoskeleton. they don't need the heavy duty reinforcement and support that some of the bigger creatures need.
