Praying Mantis

Named for prominent front legs that fold together in a gesture suggesting devotion, the praying mantis comes off as serene and soulful. They are not as docile as they appear, however. In fact, praying mantises are ambush predators with lightning-fast moves.

These are fascinating creatures that have mastered their place in the natural world. About 2,000 known mantis species exist around the world, exhibiting a wide and awe-inspiring array of adaptations to their environments.

Part of the Wild Animal Series by Papo. The art work and detail are beautiful on this hand painted figure.
