I'm not sure if the praying mantis watching TV is fake, but I don't think they are that big. I took a picture of this one in Arizona last year.

We used to get quite a few of them in Ontario during the summer. I don't think they are native though. I think people buy them for their gardens to prey on other critters.

I have never seen any in BC though.

You can order a sack of a couple hundred larvae to scatter in your garden, you can even get that at Home Depot!

I've gotta agree with Redman12....

Wait a sec...RED...MAN..... RED!!! Communists like red.

But 12 seems harmless enough..unless the 12 stands for 1912 when the Chinese Qing Dynasty was overthrown which eventually led to a COMMUNIST STATE!

YOU GODDAMN DIRTY COMMIE ALMOST HAD US FOOLED!
