Some “laugh out loud” moments in this video! Great find!
What’s wrong with those men? It’s a green, pretty insect that doesn’t bite. I see lots of them in my garden, and they’re usually ingeniously camouflaged. Sometimes you have to look closely to recognize them, because they disguise themselves as flowers, dead leaves and bird turds. And they are amazingly intelligent, as bugs go. I think they’re extraterrestrials.
Fascinating creatures. They respond to you as an animal would — rather than an insect. Much more intelligent than a typical insect.

“I claim this noggin in the name of Mantidae!”
I love Mickey Mantis!
Heck, I’d be honored if a Praying Mantis wanted to sit on top of my cap. Mantises are awesome!
From the score it seems that Washington was the team in need of prayer.
Funny!
I had a really good belly laugh the other day. My uncle was visiting (to borrow some money) and I had turned off the AC and opened all the windows to air out the house. A palmetto bug flew in the livingroom window and landed on his shoulder, and he totally freaked. He jumped up, slapping at himself and screaming “Get it off me! Get it off me!”
I just cracked up with uncontrollable laughter. There were tears in my eyes. You would think a giant poisonous scorpion had just crawled up his butt.
For those of you who live up north, a palmetto bug is a giant flying cockroach that lives in the trees outside.
My kids used to love catching a mantis, putting into a jar with a cricket and watch the fun.
AAGH! That’s disgusting! (shudder) If one of those things landed on me, I’d run in circles, screaming.
(Bug phobia, in case you couldn’t tell)
I worked at a gas station and a Mantis took up residence in the garage. We would run around catching bugs to feed it. It even had a name which I cant recall. That thing lived like a king.
