Alien Insect: Praying Mantis
Worldwide there are 2,000 species of praying mantis, most of them in the subtropical and tropical regions of the Old and New Worlds, although some also inhabit the temperate zones. Wherever they may live, all mantises have one thing in common: they are voracious predators and will devour any creature they can overwhelm. This program explores the world of these 'real aliens'. In Unprecedented images it shows how mantises live, reproduce and die. But, biological processes are not the film's only focus. It features the largest and rarest representatives of the mantis family, several of which have never been filmed before.
