Awesome! Do praying mantis have wings?
Yeah they do.
When they shed the back end will straighten out and they are tucked in there. They are more for show than anything though as far as i know

Call it Special Patrol Group!
Insult to the poor mantis TBH. It would need a good publicist to **** off said partner 1st to the tabloids before killing.
Are praying mantis hard to keep?
+1Psycho Mantis should be her name

Males of some species can certainly fly (possibly some less tubby femles too). I used to keep mantids of a similar appearance to that (forget latin names etc as it was ~10 years ago), and always ended up with females. However, my friend had a male of the same species, and would let it fly in his garden. Luckily they're only able to fly downwards and along, not upward (although they can go a fair way)!
Extremely interesting creatures they are.
Which mantis is best? Fiiiiiiight!
Actually, mine's an adult now. Should get more pics.
Edit: Here we go.
Nope, very easy.
