A praying mantis, ironwork by Emporia artist David Edwards. Artist Walk 2010, downtown Emporia.

OK, this is a praying mantis, so then are there other mantises, non-praying or otherwise?

    There are other mantids…relatives of the cockroach! (According to Wikipeida anyway). This is a nice piece of work, how large is it?

    This is beautiful. He captured that *look* that praying mantis’s give a person who is peering closely at them.

    Kris – I’d say it’s about 10-12 inches, about 7 inches high, but that’s just a guesstimate from memory.
