Mantis religiosa is the scientific name for Praying Mantis’s. I have them around  my home and enjoy watching them eat bugs. I watched a rather large female Mantis eating honeybees that were trying to feed on the flowers of a tall aster. I wonder how many bugs did this Mantis have to eat to get that big? I was also surprised to see how colorful Mantis’s can be. Some of them are just down right gorgeous. I am just making this page for fun so you can enjoy looking at them.
