You Rang, M'Lord?
Manny the Praying Mantis... The majority of mantises are ambush predators. They camouflage themselves and stand perfectly still. Then they just wait for their prey to stray too near, but most mantises will chase their prey if they can. When a target does get close enough, the mantis then lashes out at remarkable speed in fractions of the time it takes people to blink.
