Hi Hiverr
This praying mantis derives from the distinctive posture of the first pair of legs that can be observed in resting animals. This resembles the attitude of prayer . Both males and females have elongated bodies with two pairs of wings. the most striking feature shared by all Mantodea is a highly mobile triangular head with large compound eyes and their first pair of legs ('raptorial legs'), which are very useful for catching and holding fast moving or flying prey efficiently (wikipedia).
In another language in my country, Indonesia, this praying mantis is called Cangkadak, which means he is in a state alias Dak. It can be commanded for direction as a compass. In addition, if found at night at home, this praying mantis is believed to be a jinn creature, and can bring harm and must be killed.
In fact, the praying mantis smells very beautiful, he lives in the trees and can fly and fly. It has wings and legs and very dangerous foot serrations.
