OK, to me this looks like your average run of the mill praying mantis, but to the local kids that presented it to me as a peace offering to the mean old bug guy, it must be something nifty. It's about 3.5 inches long, and has some pretty odd habits with that head of it's. They fed it grass (heh) Which it surprisingly hasn't eaten yet I'm assuming this like most mantids can eat crickets and whatnot... How long do they live, and how much longer would this one likely have? What kind of enclosure would it and others like it live in, since the kids seem bound to find me more 'interesting bugs for my collection'... And what's it's real name?
