The Life Cycle of a Praying Mantis

by Andrew Hipp, Dwight Kuhn (Illustrator)

The praying mantis is a fearsome predator, eating insects many times its own size, as well as the occasional mouse, salamander, and even hummingbird! Hungry mantises may even gobble up other mantises. This book details the life cycle of these fascinating carnivores, from birth through various molts and into adulthood.

Love mantids!! Excited for easy-to-read info about them and how they grow from eggs to nymphs to adults :)

Filled with what my grade schooler called "surprising facts." Lots of good pictures and text for the kids who are interested in these insects.
