Snap! Something sits perfectly still on a flower petal, arms raised and waiting. A fly lands. In 50 milliseconds it's gone. It's a praying mantis, and it's one of nature's top predators.

There's way more to praying mantises than their famous pose. These incredible hunters can turn their head nearly all the way around, hear bats coming with an ear on their belly, and strike faster than you can blink.

"The Nature Kid's Guide to Praying Mantises" is written for curious kids ages 7 to 12 who want to know what makes these garden hunters so extraordinary. How does an orchid mantis disguise itself as a flower so convincingly that bugs fly straight to it for lunch? Why does the male have to sneak up on the female like a spy just to stay alive? And how do baby mantises hatch from a foam case in spring completely on their own?

Short sentences and surprising facts fill every page. Your child will discover that some mantises can catch small hummingbirds, that a dead leaf mantis looks so much like a fallen leaf that scientists walk right past it, and that a mantis cleans its eyes with its front legs just like a cat washing its whiskers. They'll learn how the spiny flower mantis sways as it walks to look like a petal in the breeze, how a ghost mantis spiral-dives out of the sky to escape a hunting bat, and how one egg case can hold up to 400 babies that hatch and immediately scatter to survive on their own.

A book for every kid who loves finding bugs in their backyard.

Patient hunters, perfect disguises, and a whole book full of wild facts your child will want to share.
