The praying mantis are predatory insects that gets their name because they have very long folded forelegs held close together, and they are held in a position that reminds people of praying. There are about 1,800 species of praying mantids around the world. Praying mantids are carnivores, eating mainly insects and other small animals. Many gardeners and farmers welcome mantids because the insects they eat are often pests that hurt crops. In addition to insects such as crickets and grasshoppers, mantids eat spiders, frogs, lizards, and even small birds.
