If you were a mantis - what type and why?

[cloud jaguar]

If i were a mantis, at this current stage in my evolutionary trajectory, i think i would most likely be a .......

 

[Morpheus uk]

uhhhhhh...Idolomantis diabolica, i know thats like the most commonly liked mantis and unoriginal but its the only one i can think of where the males look just as interesting as the females

Although i would only be happy if i was giant, like city destroying giant, or perhaps man eating size giant

Would probably suck to be a male mantis.

I would have to say a female C. humeralis. It would be fun to crush, and beat the heck out of my food and mates :lol:

 

[yen_saw]

The weather is turning warmer, so a tropical species... maybe Deroplaty sp. female as they live a long life

[idolomantis]

Brancsikia aeroplana for the plain and simple reason: the camo.

[Emile.Wilson]

Hymenopus Coronatus

 

[MingMing]

haha you guys ALWAYS get the bad deal, no matter what specie

 

[cloud jaguar]

Stagmomantis Limbata. I would be one of these because they are voracious predators, accomplished lovers, sociable and friendly, slightly plump, good looking, pursue what they want, stay out of sight when they want to be alone, and colorful.

 

[ABbuggin]

If I were a mantid, I would want to be a Schizocephala bicornis.

how long do they live?

i never knew they had long lives.

 

[charleyandbecky]

I'd want to be one of my own mantids, because they live high on the hog!
