Humans love is all

Can rotate its head 180 degrees, the only insect that can. Has binocular vision and depth perception. Strikes prey in 1/20th of a second, faster than a blink. Can remember and recognize patterns. Used in robotics research for its precision and agility. Nature’s silent assassin, now trainable.

They always enjoy a break from conducting reconnaissance for their home planet.

Praying mantis dabs him, that's funny

Existential crisis imminent

👏

I had one that lived near my property for a few days that would come and visit me while I was chilling outside and just come and sit on the arm of my furniture and look at me.
