Praying Mantis
Mantodea

SPECIES OVERVIEW

The Mantis is a terrifying carnivorous insect, they will feed  on many insects, some of their victims include Fruit Flies, Crickets, Beetles, Moths and Bees.

​

To capture their prey, mantids use their elite camouflage to carefully blend in with their surroundings. There, they will patiently wait for the unsuspecting prey to be within striking distance. They then use their raptorial front legs to quickly ensnare the victim. It then uses the front legs to help position the victim so it may devour it (in a horrifying manner).

​

The play style of this terrifying beast is that of deception, speed and precise striking.
