Description of Coloring Page: Mantises are an order (Mantodea) of insects that contains over 2,400 species and about 430 genera in 15 families. The largest family is the Mantidae ("mantids"). Mantises are distributed worldwide in temperate and tropical

catching and gripping prey; their upright posture, while remaining
stationary with fore arms folded, has led to the common name praying mantis. Read more...
