Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The praying mantis gets its name from the way it holds it front legs, but don't let this crafty bug fool you. It isn't praying; it's waiting for the perfect time to attack. Praying mantises wait patiently with their front legs folded for a meal to wander by. Then it strikes. The numerous photographs of praying mantises in their natural habitats will thrill readers as they learn some truly fun facts about these remarkable bugs.
