I’m talking tomorrow to an expert in mantids so leave your questions below. As a person who lived with a pet mantid, this is thrilling.

-Mirabelle’s onetime dadmom

Comments

Mykenzie King

Why do they look so wise? Like they definitely have secrets to the universe in that triangle head

Koda

Why do so many mantids mimic flowers or other insects?

Andy McAdams

Do we know at what point in history they started being referred to as “praying” mantids?

Piper Warnick

First time question asker. I remember getting baby mantis is in the mail to put in the garden to eat aphids, do the mantises do okay being in the post?

Evan Davis

What caused some to be pink? Is there an evolutionary reason to it? Aesthetic queen anyways....

Faith Novella

Who evolved first mantids or mantid lacewings?

Samwise

How do we tell the native mantids from the non-natives?

Cyntia B

What have they evolved from? What is their current closest relative? Has there been giant mantids as there has been giant dragonflies?

Spicy Native

Why do their oothecas look so weird! Is it oothecas or oothecae? Also how does one pronounce, "ootheca"?

Charlotte Parkinson

I feel they would suit a top hat. Maybe a monocle. Thoughts?

Twenty Three Skidoo

When my son was a child he found two mantids and kept them as pets. One day, much to his horror, one of the mantids stabbed the other after mating, then ate the whole damn thing (not just the head). Is this a common behavior, and who do I bill for the years of therapy my son required afterward?

Erica Flory

What is the collective name for a group of mantis? What is their egg sack made of? Can the babies have more than 1 daddy like cats?

Amber McIntyre

Can you explain why they are closer relatives to termites and cockroaches rather than stick insects or grasshoppers?

Rachel Guthrie

Are there other types of mantids besides the classic green, praying kind? Also, do they ever move quickly? I feel like I’ve only seen them move really slowly.

SuchaHotMetz

Would different types of Mantis recognize each other? Why are their heads so small and their eyes so big?

Melanie Lee

Okay... can we talk about the behavior of mantids trying to catch and eat the hummingbirds off my hummingbird feeder? Even when I removed the mantis, it came right back which for me demonstrated they have a greater understanding of hunting than I would have thought possible!

SuchaHotMetz

Favorite mantis? Do Mantis bite or sting?

Popita

What is the speed at which a mantid strikes its prey and how does it compare to a manta shrimp?

Natasha Garrison

For Christmas a few years ago my brother received a kit that allowed you to send away for a mantid egg, for educational purposes. My questions are… is that ‘okay’? Is that doing anything crazy with the population? Is it helping or hurting? Or should I be buying a kit for my adult self now???

Popita

Are mantids good for pest control in your garden?

Ari Fox

First time question asker Yay!!! How can I attract mantids to my yard? I live in Olympia, Washington

Payton Henderson

Biggest threats to mantids at the moment? And a follow up are they a widely invasive species?

Emily MacLeod

Omg I had the same question! They do that head tilt that makes it look like they're thinking really hard. Are they the scholar of bugs?

Chandler Witherington

Why are they so hard to spot? Are they usually just not in places you typically look? At 34 I think I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve seen a praying mantis and I know there has to be more out there!

AlyssaMalyssa

FTQA have you seen the studies (more importantly the pictures) where they wore 3D glasses?! How crazy is their visual system? Those eyes hold secrets 👀

Deacon Raid

How common is sexual cannibalism? Is it increased in captivity?

Patrick Duffy

We know they can catch and eat hummingbirds. What is the biggest thing they can hunt?

Chandler Witherington

Are all “mantids” what we call praying mantises (sp) or are there other kinds? I feel like this is a dumb question but you’re prob talking to a smart person lol

Meghan Matthews-Adair

Why are lacewings such bastards that have bites that hurt so much?

Hope Madeline

What religion are mantids? Who are they praying to? And more seriously, what are the spikes on their forearms for? Are they just cool decor or do they have a function?

that guy mentioned six minutes in

Martial arts movies generally use the praying mantis style, which mantid should the actually mimicking to beat the bad guys?

Susan Lin

Friend saved one from the winter cold, and we fed it so many interesting things the most fascinating being a tiny tiny piece of roast duck. It loved it! Is there anything it shouldn't eat?

Miranda Panda

Can you please explain the terminology? Mantodae vs mantis vs mantidae vs mantid.

Keegan Newman

So as a kid I was told it was “illegal” to kill them, then as I got older I was told that most aren’t even native to North America? Is this true? Are there native Mantids to the US?

Miranda Panda

What's up with their eyes? Why do they always look like they are squinting at us in suspicion?

Ang&Steve

If you see a praying mantis by your hummingbird feeder, are your hummingbirds in danger?

AK

Do mantis males that have their heads eaten father more offspring than males that manage to mate and keep their heads on?

Lisa Gorman

Does the male praying mantis know he's about to get eaten and mate anyway? If so, is he choosy about which female he mates with?

zombot

I remember, on a science doc on one of the first HD cable stations about 20 years ago called "Alien Insect" all about mantids, a female oh-so-casually eating the head of a male during copulation like it was totally fine for him as she bit into his mushy eye. Do mantids (and I guess insects) feel pain?

Cate Muenker

What’s with the size difference between male and female?? How many molts does it take to become a full grown mantis? Do they bite? How many kinds of parasites prefer to hop onto or into mantids?

Susan C Lester

When my kids and I were raising mantids, we were told to only give them 1 cricket at a time or they would eat so many they would burst. However, we tried this and the mantid did just fine. Is this just a myth?

zombot

Mantids have compound eyes, correct? What do you call the dots in a mantid's eyes? They either look like they're rolling their eyes skyward or staring right at the viewer. Do they appear to move in relation to the position of its head to the viewer?

wicker bitch

How sharp are the claws? Like can they skewer stuff? Are they very strong? What's their main killing mechanism?

Miranda Panda

I just found devils flower mantises and they may be the coolest thing I've ever seen. Why am I seeing some that are black, some that are brown, some green, and some pink?

zombot

Are they found on every continent, including Antarctica?

Susan C Lester

One year, I found a mantid in the late summer and brought him home. One morning when I left for work, I saw it had snowed overnight and told the mantid that if he was outside, this would be his last day, but he was in a nice warm house. When I came home that evening, he was dead! Do they have some amazing biological clock that tells them when to die?

Yuri

Why do humans bring in non native mantis for pest control and they now EAT THE HUMMINGBIRDS 😭 (Yuri, like beauty without the b)

John Buchner

Where to Mantids fit on the mythology scale? What mythological stories or fables are told about them? Are the “worshiped” by any groups?

Matt Thompson

Do males try to keep there head at all during/after reproduction?

it’s just sarah

does eating the male’s head serve a purpose or is it just metal as fuck?

Alison Gussack

What is their main food source? Aside from male mantid heads, I mean. Of course

Alison Gussack

What’s the largest species? Smallest?

Mouse Paxton

What's up with the three little eye spots on their head? Are they for detecting predators? How smart are they? My pet mantis Henrietta the Destroyer always seemed to be observing everything around her. What's the biggest and/or toughest thing a mantis will eat? What should I do if I need to move their lil egg sacs? I often find them attached to the young trees I grow at work and we need to remove the sacs before the trees go into cold storage.

The Joyful Spitfire

This was my question too! Something about their face appears pensive and enlightened.

The Joyful Spitfire

I’m curiously if the praying mantis was ever prayed to. Are there any records of them being enshrined or adored?

Mimz

Are there less mantids now? I used to see them all the time as a kid and now I never see them

The Joyful Spitfire

Another question - it seems like they can be found in a variety of locations. Do/have they survive as an invasive species?

Justin M Gifford

Okay, stupid question, so right place for that: why are big preying mantids so chill when you handle them

Hannah Gorrie

How many legs do they have? Are the claws considered adapted legs or do they not walk on their claws at all?

DeWaine Tollefsrud

They are so engaging when they turn to look at you. What do they key into? Do they recognize others’ Eyes? General shapes? Movement? Would they engage with an eyeless mask? So many questions! First time asker.

Hannah Gorrie

Do they ever scavenge carrion or are they primarily predatory?

Hannah Gorrie

What are their closest relatives? Stick bugs come to mind??

Hannah Gorrie

Gah so many questions! Are they territorial, since they live independently?

Rebecca Goerling

Local midwesterner here! I know Chinese mantids are kind of giving our local Carolina mantids a run for their money. Is there anything I can do about that? Is there a way for me to shepard these precious, predatory babies back into the local ecosystem?

Jason Lowenthal

Do we have any idea what their vision is like? Also, why so chill? They don't seem to scare easily. I love them!

Nina Eve Z.

How? How are they and how are they so AWESOME?

Kathleen Regovich

Why do the females kill the males right after sex?

Kara

I heard that the females killing and eating the males is actually a myth, or only in rare cases. What is true?

Kara

Also, how old is their species? Did there ever used to be 6-foot-tall mantids during prehistoric eras like there were dragonflies?

Kara

Also. Is it ethical to keep them as pets?

Alli B

Why do the females of some species lowkey eat the heads of the males whilst mating? Is it true that death spasms are more efficient at delivering sperm?

Hulia Veranos

Please discuss mantids in the fossil record. Were they huge and hairy? First time asker.

Olivia Lester

Embarrassed to say I had to look up what you meant by mantids ... why were they not called mantises? Are they just praying mantises? Why are they praying and what for? Why do they bite the heads off the hubbies? Sex life? The men dying to get laid or what ... aka do they know their fate? Are they more active or passive hunters? What's with the lil incisors at the ends of their ... arms is it? What is their body structure up to lookin like that? How long will they wait for a kill? How do they kill? What do they even munch on? THEY'RE JUST SO AMAZING I WAS PRAYING FOR THE DAY YOU OLOGIED "MANTIDS" ... pun intended

Alli B

Do you know anything about the teeny praying mantis 3D glasses experiment? Please tell me they screened Captain EO for them!

Sarah king

Why called praying?!

Sarah king

They are just SO cool. They feel almost unearthly or like Egyptian cats but bugs. Like to kill one intentionally feels sacreligious

Valerie Bertha

I love mantids! Do you have a favorite and if so why? The orchid mantids is so beautiful. I had an egg sac that hatched and had to separate all the babies, there were a lot, because they appeared to be attacking and hurting each other. Is this normal?

Erin Gunderson

What are they most closely related to? And holy moly, those orchid mantises! Can we hear about those?!?

Valerie N

First time question asker 😊 Are there good mantids and bad mantids & if so how can I tell them apart? Are the Chinese mantids bad for the US ecosystem? Should I encourage one variety over another in my garden?

Holly Cole

A bit embarrassed, but here goes: originally I thought you were talking about the peacock mantis shrimp. So, once I got on the right track I didn’t know they were called mantids (obviously). I’m not sure I’ve ever seen one in the wild. Are they in danger of extinction? Where do they live?

Cian verbridge

How does their hearing work and why can they only hear ultrasound.

Cian verbridge

Is their eyesight slit into two eyes for wide angle and danger sensing, and three for depression for hunting ?

Sara Rocero

Aside from mimicry and camouflage, have mantids evolved other stunning adaptations to avoid predation or catch prey?

Nicole Kleinman

Is it true that females will eat the males? If so, why?

Nicole Kleinman

Why are some called “mantis” vs “mantid”?

E

Why do they look like that?

Nicole Kleinman

Is the portrayal of the praying mantis in A Bugs Life accurate? (His name is Manny!)

Tony Benvenuti

why do i see them sway or dance back and forth ?

Justin Bowen

How close are they to dragonflies toxonomically and how successful are they at hunting prey (what is their kill rate)?

Kalila Elahi

Who would win in a fight: a cat sized praying mantis or an actual cat?

The Mama

Are they smarter than other that other bugs? Because I’ve had them as pets and they seemed much more aware and interactive than ‘normal’ bugs.

John

The story of the mantis style king fu is apparently based off a monk who would use his chopsticks to “spar” with a mantis and he developed the style from the mantis movements. Are there underground mantis fighting groups?

Ry_ofthetiger

Walking alone in the woods, would you rather run into a bear or a bear-sized mantis?

Ry_ofthetiger

Do you think there are any mantids that experience love? They seem like some ice cold killer mofos, but is there a soft side?

Ry_ofthetiger

If you could mutate and take one trait of mantids for yourself, what super mantid power would you choose?

Dawson Leone

I’ve so been hoping for this one!!! Compared to other insects, how intelligent are they? I often see large specimens outside watching me work and they seem almost “interested”. Sometimes I even reach out and they crawl onto my hand. Are they trying to learn? or are they just so metal that they aren’t afraid of a creature a hundred times their size and they’re trying to figure out how to eat me?

Colin Rowbottom

What is the mantids evolutionary history? Is there any relation to mantis shrimp or do they just share a common name? Also are mantids social? Do they have friends? I’ve only ever seen them alone in the wild.

Colin Rowbottom

Are there any superstition’s surrounds mantids? What things can I plant in my garden to attract mantids?

Alena Litin

The single ear… what’s that about?

Felix

what are the ethics and all that about keeping mantids as pets?

Tyra pereira

what is the most accurate screen depiction of a mantid? Film or TV

Kellie Due

What's the wildest thing you've seen a mantis catch/eat? (Thinking about that picture of one eating a bird...)

Liv Tambrini

Respectfully, why are their heads shaped like that? Also the orchid mantis is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. Do they nest in flowers? How camouflaged are they?

Organic Free-Range Lily

Is there a consensus on how their sexual cannibalism evolved, or is that still debated?

Björn Fredberg

I've heard that the female eats the male's head, but is that the only part? Why not eat the whole thing, after he is done? Seems like a waste of good eatin'

Emmett

How many species of mantids are there and how big/small do they get?

Dorit

Do we know much about mantis vision? Such crazy eyes!

Felipe Jimenez

Are they the most badass bugs in the world? And why yes…

John Casey

What's the biggest thing a mantid will actually hunt? I think I've seen videos of them going after hummingbirds, is that common? 😳

Björn Fredberg

If all mantids were to disappear, poof, what part of the ecology would be suffering? Which ecological niche do they fill? Would we get swarmed by aphids?

Björn Fredberg

Do they have any social behaviour? What do the mommytids do after the eggs hatch? Or do they lay eggs in a fire-and-forget fashion? Are the newborn babytids in danger of being eaten?

Björn Fredberg

If they would take something larger, like a hummingbird, how long would it take for them to devour it? Would they eat everything; feathers, bones and all?

Paulina Krasińska-Sroka

WHYYYYY! Why do we always see the exotic, green, colorful mantids in media? I always thought they're native to tropical or at least super warm climates, UNTIL my dog found one - tiny and cream colored - in March, in my central Europe Poland!

Maria Andrus

Can you tell me about a Mantis' umwelt? How do they perceive the world around them?Do they have good eyesight or are those big pretty boys just for show? #firsttimequestionasker

Francesca Hernandez-Singer

2 questions: if I find an unhatched ootheca that has separated from the surface it was laid on, is it still viable? Also if I find an ootheca on a branch or bark and want to move it to, say, my garden, is there an optimal type of location for it? #firsttimequestionasker #bigtimemantidlover

Lyssa Mercier

So excited to learn more about these insects! They always strike me as equal parts beautiful and terrifying close up, they seem so alien. How long ago did they evolve? Why do some have really prominent, fancy wings? What is the range of sizes, smallest vs largest?

Zinc

whats their native range? can i find one to gaze at in the uk?

Maria Whamond

Are mantids related to grass hoppers like a scarier older cousin? FTQA

Josie Chase

Do mantids have the capacity to harm humans? Should we be afraid ?

Danielle Sucher

Is it true that mantids have only one ear (when they have any at all)? If so, why - is it a step along the way towards descendants with more ears, or some sort of evolutionary advantage to have precisely one?

Anna Stevens

How did Orchid Mantises come to exist? They’re so pretty!!

Danielle Sucher

Who would win in a fight between the smallest mantid and the smallest bat?

Susan Singley

Why are mantids the best insect ever?

Raja

How does a mantid's strength compare to that of other insects? ("Rah-ya", like papaya)

Raja

Is it possible to hear a mantis chewing? ("Rah-ya", like papaya)

Zoe Litton

Are mantids good pets?

Zoe Litton

Is it true that the mom mantid eats the dad mantid? What about the babies, is it a gladiator fight to make it out alive?

Aoife Holmes

How good as mantids at jumping?

Peter

What has surprised you most about mantids, or the biggest misconception about them?

Jeffrey Vanderlip

I remember growing up in Connecticut in the 60's that the word among the kids in the neighborhood was Mantids (particularly Praying Mantis) were protected, and it was a $50 fine if you were caught harming them. Not sure if that was true, but is it true anywhere today?

Helios

how much of an issue are Chinese mantises in the US, and how do you tell the difference between a Chinese mantis and a Carolina mantis (and their oothecas)?

Helios

can they move their torsos up and down or are they always in kind of a centaur position with an upright torso (as opposed to being able to bend down and make themselves fully horizontal)?

Val Vanderlip

How can I develop a respectful relationship with a mantis? Do I offer her any benefit by bringing her into my life? Wait, how can I know a Mantids gender? #FirstTimeQuestionAsker #AshtabulaNative

MJ Mejstrik

Why are they so good at dancing? Is there a purpose to their dancing? #firsttimequestionasker

6-1-49er-Joe

Ooh, fun! I’d love to know about some of the more unique cultural mythologies surrounding Mantids from around the world

BugLuvr

Are mantids good for my garden? Will the bite me? Friend or foe?

LZ

Mantid sex—please discuss. Do the females eat the males post-copulation? Or is that a myth I heard somewhere?

Robin Kuehn

How worried do you think we should be about non-native vs native mantids in the US?

Voxothoth

What are their sensory capabilities like?

Merry Leo

First time question asker: I grew up thinking praying mantises were endangered and only recently discovered they are not and actually never were on the endangered species list. Where did this myth come from?

Munib Hasnain

We know that mantids sway a lot, but do we know the purpose? Is it a form of camouflage, matching the motion of swaying plants around them? Does the purpose of swaying vary across species?

Rube

The location where I always seem to spot mantids is parking structures! If they are not there trying to remember where they parked their mantid-mobile, is there something in them that mantids are drawn to? Is it safe to move them to a vegetated area, or is it best to leave them alone?

The Bloated Toad

What’s up with their freaky eyeballs!?! Alien or no?

Danielle Fidelia

Do the women really rip the heads off the males after mating? Because that’s pretty metal.

BeckytheSassySeagrassScientist

Mantids are so cool! I kind of can't get mad at non native Chinese species that I see around... But should I be mad?

BeckytheSassySeagrassScientist

How bad are those mantid egg sacks that they sell to control pests in your veggie garden? Is there a way to harness they're aphid devouring power in an ecologically responsible way?

Kellee Toler

FTQA: were there truly giant mantids back in the ages of dinosaurs? Or is that a myth? What is the ancestor of the mantid? I'm interested in their evolution, since they're so alien.

Elie Zwiebel

One time a couple years ago, Denver experienced an early freeze in early September. On the underside of a piece of fence, I found a larger mantis frozen with four other mantids (about 2/3 the size of the larger one) clinging to the larger one. Were they males clinging to a female? Lil baby mantoids clinging to their mama? Was this a strategy to stay warm during the chill? Or were these sad manti-cicles victims of not sheltering or migrating to warmer climes?

Kristin 🦦

Can a large mantis eat a bug that is bigger than it?

Amber Pineda

As a kid whenever I saw a mantis they were always inside a building or in people populated areas instead of green areas, do we know why they seem to be attracted to that space or if I just happened to only notice them inside?

Sarah Mabel

I’ve always heard if you see them in your garden it’s a good sign. Is this superstition or grounded in understanding healthy ecosystems?

PopsicleEmperor

What is the connection between mantids and kung fu styles? I always heard about mantis fighting style and im curious about that Origin

Jennifer R.

What preys on a praying mantis? Just birds? Or other bugs?

Holly Brunkal

I love them, but rarely see them in my garden. I live in a high elevation, very cold climate. Is there anything I can do to encourage them to live in/visit my yard?

Nick worth

I understand they have 2 pairs of wings, but I’ve never seen one fly… I’m guessing they use them to show off, but it seems mad to have the ability to fly and just decide to stay earthbound….

Deborah Gray

Why do they rip off the heads of their mates? Also, in terms of functional morphology, why are they so interesting-looking?

Margot Louis

I really want one as a pet. Good idea or bad?

Margot Louis

Is it true most of them are infected with parasites? If I see one in the wild what are the odds it’s sentient or being controlled by a foreign body taking residence inside of it?

Margot Louis

Obviously I want to know ALL about their mating habits

Margot Louis

How fast are their arms when they grab prey? I want to know how they hunt, what’s their success rate? What are their hunting strategies?

Margot Louis

What’s the craziest thing they have seen a mantis hunt? I’ve seen videos of them taking down lizards and birds, how common is this? How big of prey can they take down? What is their favorite food?

Margot Louis

I used to do kung fu and I was a mantis! The art I did had 8 animal styles. You had to learn them all, but you were just one of them naturally.

Margot Louis

I feel like they’re LOOKING at me seeing one IRL. Can they actually see me? What do they see?

Celia Sanislow

Favorite fun fact or story about them?

Jason Ganley

What is the small black dot on their eyes? Im really curious how they work.

Shawn Hebrank

Is “aggressive mimicry” the best phrase in science, and are orchid mantises the coolest animal ever?

LightBrownPillow

How strong are their legs? I once had one ride on the front of my motorcycle for miles and it never seemed bothered by the wind at 60 mph. Do they climb up high searching for prey normally or are they usually down lower in the grass?

Kai Kishimoto

Can mantids survive through the winter? I've seen them further north on the east coast than I would have expected

Natalie Rousseau

How accurate of a portrayal of a personified mantis was the She-Mantis from Buffy the Vampire Slayer (s01e04)? Also, do the females eat the males for population control or because men are disgusting?

Eating dog hair for a living

This is just a question for you Alie, I know this isn't the right place to do it but I don't know where else I could ask you this... have you ever done an episode on sea horses?

Emily G

I live in Ohio and I know that the Chinese mantids we often see here are invasive, and that the native ones are pretty rare these days. Should I be destroying the egg cases I find in the fall? I feel so torn, I know they're bad for some of the helpful native insects in my garden, but they also eat a lot of the insects I don't want around.

Your New Favorite Animal Podcast

Great question Emily! I’m in Ohio and wondered the same thing. I also wonder about the praying mantis egg cases you can purchase for kids to hatch and release. Are these doing damage to the environment and if so why are they still being sold?

Shannon Amiot

Do different mantids have different favorite places to perch? If so, I'd love some examples. Which mantids likes which kind of tree/plant? Also, how much do they move around (like how big are their residential areas)?

Kate Goldenberg

Why are mantids shaped the way they are? Possibly from an evolutionary perspective - how is their unique shape beneficial? Also, love the podcast and mantids - Mantis was my favorite character in Kung Fu Panda.

Neen

why do they walk so wobbly

Neen

what are those little black dot's on some of them's eyes? why do they look like they know something we don't? why are they such feminist icons?

Neen

why are their mouthes so complicated/ weird/ alien looking?

Neen

please watch the mantis vs welder video, it's so good

Neen

This also might be niche, but I grew up in South Africa and we were always told that the praying mantis (Kaggen) was worshipped by the San People and I always thought that was really badass for an insect :)

Neen

how are their eggs laid? It seems quite big in relation to their little bodies

Jeff Larche

Long time listener / Patreon, first time commenter ... Forgive me for asking a non-mantid question here, but I just went through every one of the 300+ episode titles in the Apple podcast feed, and am shocked, SHOCKED there isn't an episode on either Pangolins or Armadillos. 😮 Any chance these could be added to your backlog of possible shows?

Fedge

Why do they sway like that and why can’t we hear the music they’re swaying to? It feels like R&B but maybe not.

Nick Mikash

What is up with non-native mantids? Are they a problem for our ecosystems and native mantids?

Athanasius

Not a question, because this podcast is out now (I'm listening to it whilst cleaning my flat). Alie, are you aware of the controversy surrounding BetterHelp's data collection *and sharing* practices? https://www.themarysue.com/betterhelp-controversy-explained/ https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2024/05/betterhelp-customers-will-begin-receiving-notices-about-refunds-related-2023-privacy-settlement-ftc https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/betterhelp-to-pay-78-million-to-800-000-in-health-data-sharing-settlement/#google_vignette https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/blog/2023/03/ftc-says-online-counseling-service-betterhelp-pushed-people-handing-over-health-information-broke Please don't take any more sponsorships from them (I got one ad the "before questions from listeners" sponsor break, here in the UK) unless and until they've actually properly apologised for their past scummy behaviour.
