Naught lowlife, but pro-life; pin-up; wildlife, like the Mantis, or the praying Mantis, cockroaches and termites, close relatives, there are stick ones or grasshoppers, half-life. A year's life, they are ambush predators, female practices sex cannibalism. Supernatural power behold-ism Greece, Assyria, Egypt, past overs. Mantis are the most common insect pets, twenty-four hundred species, tropical, temperate too, visions are stereo, triangular heads with long-winged-like jets. They take a commanding pose faced menace, China has two martial arts-styled Mantis.
