This is what my dictionary says... and a 'mante religieuse' is a praying mantis.
What's the song?

I wonder if it is unique to the praying mantis that the female eats the male after mating... or if this is true for all mantises?

: The biggest praying mantises are the Tenodera and the Archimantis, which are six inches long! The smallest praying mantis is the Bolbe pygmaea, which is only 2/5 of an inch, or one-centimeter. www.insecta-inspecta.com/mantids/praying/
