Heh... you are lucky that you live on that continent

In Poland we have only one mantid specie - Mantis religiosa and it is still very rare.

...but who knows, maybe we have two subspecies: Mantis religiosa polonica and M. r. religiosa

Damn... one day I must go to Australia... and nice pics

They're awesome insects eh kyle! I love those front legs on 'em, check out the wicked spikes on them to hold their prey in place while they're eaten! Vicious!
