He was looking for Morty.

He wanted to make love to him and eat his head.

I bought a egg sac of these about 10 years ago. The descendants finally died out this year.

They are interesting. Females are the larger green ones and the males are brown if I remember correctly.

The eggs are enclosed in something like a brown styrofoam capsule for the winter attached to shrubs.

I used to hang out with Praying Mantises at the cottage, along with other creatures. I also feel that the Mantis was shafted by the movie Five Deadly Venoms when it's kung fu style was not one in the movie!

I had an experience with one once. I was watering the plants. one was close by, it got somehow swet by the running water on the ground. It looked panicked as it was trying to hold on to something to take foot.

Once I took a notice, I immediately managed to get pointing finger under it and lifted it up out of the wet, and started looking at it and trying to find out if it was hurt. it was not as her little body looked like it was waterproof.
As it was standing with its little feet on my pointing finger facing me, it started to profusely bend over and back up again over and over and over, as if it was praying to me, and did not fly away at first. At the time I did not know it was called the praying mentis. I was elated by that little sight and started to wonder if it was trying to thank me for saving it. The mn that thought crossed my mind, only then, it took off in a nice little happy trajectory like a miniature biplane, flying away...

Oh, that was one of the cutest little experiences I have ever had with an insect... . And this one seemed to be a teenager or baby still because it was very small.
Later when I learned it was a praying mentis, I've realized it was just performing her little cute Act. What a delight it was.
