The word mantis comes from the Greek mantikos, for soothsayer or prophet. Indeed, these insects do seem spiritual, especially when their forelegs are clasped together as if they're in prayer. Learn more about these mysterious insects with these 10 fascinating facts about praying mantis.

1. Most Praying Mantis Live in the Tropics
Of approximately 2,000 species of mantis described to date, almost all are tropical creatures. Just 18 native species are known from the entire North American continent. About 80% of all members of the order Mantodea belong to a single family, the Mantidae.

2. The Mantis We See Most Often in the U.S. Are Exotic Species
You're more likely to find an introduced mantis species than you are to find a native praying mantis. The Chinese mantis (Tenodera aridifolia) was introduced near Philadelphia, PA about 80 years ago. This large mantis can measure up to 100 mm in length. The European mantis, Mantis religiosa, is pale green and about half the size of the Chinese mantis. European mantises were introduced near Rochester, NY nearly a century ago. Both the Chinese and European mantis are common in the northeastern U.S. today.

3. Mantis Can Turn Their Heads a Full 180 Degrees
Try to sneak up on a praying mantis, and you may be startled when it looks over its shoulder at you. No other insect can do so. Praying mantis have a flexible joint between the head and prothorax that enables them to swivel their heads. This ability, along with their rather humanoid faces and long, grasping forelegs, endears them to even the most entomophobic people among us.

4. Mantis Are Closely Related to Cockroaches and Termites
These three seemingly different insects – mantis, termites, and cockroaches – are believed to descend from a common ancestor. In fact, some entomologists group these insects in a superorder (Dictyoptera), due to their close evolutionary relationships.

5. Praying Mantis Overwinter as Eggs in Temperate Regions
The female praying mantis deposits her eggs on a twig or stem in the fall and then protects them with a Styrofoam-like substance she secretes from her body. This forms a protective egg case, or ootheca, in which her offspring will develop over the winter. Mantis egg cases are easy to spot in the winter when leaves have fallen from shrubs and trees. But be forewarned! If you bring an overwintering ootheca into your warm home, you may find your house teeming with tiny mantis.
