A Praying Mantis Alien

I think it’s a praying mantis alien.
How would you know?
It is guess; I am following my thinking brain.
Because it looks like a praying mantis?
Maybe.
What does it look like to you?
I do not have a better idea than that actually.
How do we communicate with it?
Do you speak bug?
Not that I know.
Me neither.
Let’s just do the best we can.
Sounds good to me!

A most interesting insect. We used to save their nests and watch them hatch. When they first hatched, they looked like brine shrimp, but we did not feed them to our fish. We knew the males were going to get their heads eaten off anyway when they got bigger.
