source?The world's largest praying mantis was recorded at 45cm (18") long, in Southern China, in 1929.Now THAT would be a mantis to own, though what would you feed it ? small children ?
Unless you were there you cannot say with 100% certanty it is incorrect. They just recently descovered a claw to a sea scorpionHi.This information is completely wrong. Nevertheless, it is frequently found in the forums. Please consider that the internet also contains complete ######. Do not believe anything you read there. The largest species reach 17 cm, which is still a lot.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/200711...footseascorpion" Sea scorpions are thought to be the extinct aquatic ancestors of scorpions and possibly all arachnids."The 18-inch (46-centimeter) claw likely belonged to an 8-foot (2.46-meter) sea scorpion.
I'm going to say no more about what Christian has already stated about 29cm mantids (he's right).The internet contains a lot of wrong information on mantids. Once I wanted to contribute to the Wikipedia article, but ceased it after more and more bull**** accumulated. I did not find one site on mantids without wrong info yet.
this is such a lazy and reckless rebuttal.Unless you were there you cannot say with 100% certanty it is incorrect. They just recently descovered a claw to a sea scorpion
I still dont get why these get confused lolMaybe that Chinese thing was a stick insect or something.
I saw that mantis movie where the mantids were 50feet tall. Man, I can't imagine how crazy that was for the people who had to catch those things for the movie. I wonder where they caught them...for all we know WAY back in time Mantis were 3 feet long ... /shrugs
