Text from the free encyclopedia WIKIPEDIA may appear below to give a little background information (internal links may not work) :
*************
Mantodea (or mantises, mantes) is an order of insects that contains over 2,400 species and about 430 genera[1] in 15 families worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. Most of the species are in the family Mantidae.
The English common name for the order is the mantises, or rarely (using a Latinized plural of Greek mantis), the mantes. The name mantis refers only to members of the family Mantidae. The other common name, often applied to any species in the order, is ""praying mantis"",[2] because of the typical ""prayer-like"" posture with folded fore-limbs, although the eggcorn ""preying mantis"" is sometimes used in reference to their predatory habits.[3][4] In Europe and other regions, however, the name ""praying mantis"" refers to only a single species, Mantis religiosa. The closest relatives of mantises are the termites and cockroaches (order Blattodea). They are sometimes confused with phasmids (stick/leaf insects) and other elongated insects such as grasshoppers and crickets, or other insects with raptorial forelegs such as mantisflies.
