Features a Genuine Praying Mantis. There are about 1,800 species of praying mantids around the world.  Only 20 species are in the US with only 3 being in the upper Midwest!  Praying mantids are carnivores, eating mainly insects and other small animals. They eat live prey from bugs like crickets and grasshoppers but they also eat spiders, frogs, lizards, and even small birds!  This is a superb sample encased in an acryclic block.   

Designed so you can view the Mantis from both the top and bottom or from the side. Measures 4 1/4" x 1 3/4" x 1" thick.   Makes for the perfect conversation or display piece or carefully place next to your better half's coffee cup in the morning when they're still half asleep.... Comes in a box. Priced right. (Praying Mantis may vary in size and color from listing since they are REAL!)
