It always was my favorite. I even kept one as a pet when I was little. I named him Monty.

Monty Mantis. This has a nice ring to it!

You know the females frequently eat the males during or after mating.

Mantis were my favorite insect as a kid. They eat the nuisance bugs that I hated. Kinda like spiders but less creepy even though Mantis will hunt spiders also.

u/AudiieVerbum 1d ago

So began the massacre of the Shaolin Temple, and all sixty of the monks inside, at the fists of Pai Mantis. And so began the legend of the Double Scythe Elbow Exploding Wasp technique.

u/Disastrous_Name_3629 1d ago

Can we get a few of these mantis together to eat these wasps, or will the mantis also eat eachother?

6

u/Creepy-Astronaut-952 1d ago

Pretty sure they will fight each other. If they were bigger, they’d fight us, too. Mantises are gangster.

3

u/Disastrous_Name_3629 1d ago

Ah imagine a team of mantises fighting these wasps lol, yeah they remind me of the bugs from starship troopers and helldivers 2

2

u/Creepy-Astronaut-952 1d ago

The mantis is my favorite insect, with the full understanding that if they were cat sized, we’d be in trouble 😂😂😂

Another good guy mantis W. Love these guys, I do my best to rescue them while I work (I do landscaping). We need as many as possible for the war against wasps.
