My Introduction To The Praying Mantis

I went on my first insect collecting trip, finally!!! We went to Montrose beach and caught a lot of grasshoppers. I am hoping to go to the trip off of Rosemont to collect some mantes. I've often encountered huge beetles and mantes in my backyard back at home, so I'm anticipating this last insect collecting trip. While thinking about it I remembered this funny guy on Youtube who makes short factual videos about animals, and he did have one about the Praying Mantis.

It's definitely not his funniest one, but I found it comical and relevant to this class. He also has some on dung beetles, and other arthropods!

Cheers,

Casey
