There are about 1,800 species of praying mantis around the world. People often refer to any mantid as a praying mantis, but mantises are part of a smaller group within the mantids. Praying mantis are carnivores, eating mainly insects and other small animals. Many gardeners and farmers welcome mantis because the insects they eat are often pests that hurt crops. In addition to insects such as crickets and grasshoppers, mantids eat spiders, frogs, lizards, and even small birds.

The praying mantis has a long neck topped by a triangular head. They can turn their heads 180 degrees—an entire half circle. They're well-camouflaged, adapting colors that help them blend with plants. Some also have amazing body shapes that make them look like leaves or branches. Their front legs have rows of sharp spines to help them hold on to their prey, which they usually begin to eat head first!

The praying mantis gets its name from the way it holds its forearms.
