isnt it possible that a child is holding that mantis?

 

[patrickfraser]

That was my conclusion the last time. :lol: ​ I'll have to find that thread.

Hehhehehe. I remember that thread as well :stuart:

Yes it is possible a child is holding it.That s why I was asking where these guys were from.

Men from Papua-New guinea are always strongly built(heavy chest,muscles...).Only children seem to be fatty when young.

Another thing,adult men can be body painted and wear an armlace all time.

I am aware these are not real evidence,as there is many different tribes out there,but all these liitle details make me think that you are right:A child is holding a big mantis.

Actually, if you look at the people more closely, you'll notice that some of the adult men are not muscular, and have some flab to them.

For what it's worth, that was my observation as well.

I've magnified the part with the mantis 10X with photoshop and under close scrutiny... I can tell you its a wind up toy... and upon further inspection it indeed was made in China! :lol:

Nikkko is correct though, mantis tend to be larger in captivity due to being "spoiled brats" that eat much more than in the wild where it could be days or even weeks between eating.(I'm really surprised Gripen didn't ask "where's your proof" S Devil) Haha jk
