		A few well know species have successfully evolved to exploit human dwellings and food supplies.
		Mantodea means soothsayer; a person claiming to be able to predict the future.
		These insects have highly modified front legs often held in a position suggestive of prayer.

		Phylogeny of Mantodea- the evolution of a predator
		Early systematic work on Mantodea was mainly conducted by Beier (1964 and 1968) and subsequently revised by Ehrmann (2002), Roy (1987), and Wang (1993).
		Specifically, the goals of this project are to: Objective I, Reconstruct a comprehensive phylogeny for Mantodea using molecular and morphological characters; and Objective II, Investigate key aspects of mantid behavior, morphology, and ecology and the correlation of characters with evolutionary shifts and biogeographical patterns.

	Mantodea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The order Mantodea (or Praying mantis) consists of approximatively 2,300 species, of which a majority are in the family Mantidae.
		The closest relatives of mantids are the orders Isoptera (termites) and Blattaria (cockroaches), and these three groups together are sometimes ranked as an order rather than a superorder.

	Suborder Mantodea - Mantids - BugGuide.Net
		Mantodea are relatively large, elongate insects that can reach several inches in length.
		Mantodea have very flexible articulation between the head and prothorax providing it with great mobility and allowing a mantid to "look over its shoulder" (4).
		Eggs are laid during the autumn in a foamy structure forming an ootheca (egg case), which hatch en masse in the spring.

		Die Interessengemeinschaft Mantodea (IGM) ist ein Zusammenschluss von Hobby-Züchtern und wissenschaftlich arbeitenden Personen mit dem Ziel, den Informations-Austausch zu jeglichen Aspekten der Mantodea zwischen Interessierten zu fördern.
		It's a community of private and professional Mantodea enthusiasts with the goal of promoting information exchange to any aspects of the Mantodea between interested people.
		The Mantodea conference covers changing emphasis, as for instance ranges of topics as rearing and reproducing, systematics and determination, collecting journeys, reproducing food animals, the creation of a scientific collection and the associated preparation, whereby individual lectures can quite deviate from the actual conference topic.

		Wildlife of Sydney - Stick insects and praying mantids - Phasmatodea and Mantodea
		Stick insects and praying mantids were once treated as orthopterans (with grasshoppers, locusts, crickets and katydids) but are now in their own orders - Phasmatodea and Mantodea respectively.
		These insects are best known for their remarkable camouflage throughout various stages of their life cycle.

		The nymphs of praying mantids look like small adults but lack wings or have developing wing buds.
		Some species of Neuroptera in the family Mantispidae can be mistaken for praying mantids as they also have raptorial front legs, however further examination reveals they do not have the hardened forewings present in Mantodea.
		Mating in praying mantids is direct and in some species the female may attack and eat the male during or after mating.

	Mantodea
		Insect photos were taken by Marvin Gunderman, unless otherwise indicated.
		The name Mantodea is derived from "mantis", the Greek word for these insects.
		Some entomologists and taxonomists may group Mantodea as a suborder of the Order Orthoptera.

	Mantodea (mantises) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Praying mantises evolved from cockroach-like ancestors and you could regard a mantis as being merely a predatory cockroach.
		In fact the orders Mantodea (mantises) and Blattodea (cockroaches) are sometimes combined into a single order called the Dictyoptera.
		Like cockroaches, praying mantises lay their eggs in batches called oothecae.
