Praying Mantis

I saw this Praying Mantis at a gas station in Norcross, Georgia a few months ago. Thought it was sooo cool, so I decided to take video of him. I didn't know there were Praying Mantis' in Georgia! He didn't seem to mind me being close to him and watching him. He kept looking directly at me. It was the weirdest thing! I could just tell he knew I was there and he was looking at ME. The only time he got scared was when I put my hand close to him to show you guys how big this guy is. But he wasn't scared enough to fly away. They aren't very timid (at least this one wasn't). Very interesting and intriguing creatures, I must say!

Using their entire arms like razor blades, the Praying Mantis feasts on prey 3 times its size!

Had A Mantis on our driveway once in Sanford NC. My brother went to pick it up, and it crawled around his hands for a bit, and with no notice, it jumped at his face...like a flash. No harm was done but that was a moment i wish i had on file. Just his reaction and the speed of the mantis were priceless

Hahahahaha, that's funny. I don't know what I would have done if that happened to me. I've been to Sanford, NC.

They are awesome if you try to put your hand near it it will come up they are completley harmless!

[FireThunderTV]

Not harmless to it's prey - haha. But yeah, harmless to people. I only put my hand in the video to show how big he is. I didn't want to frighten it and make him fly away.

Lol @ the random music. You should have pulled that lint off of him. He looked uncomfortable :/
