What is Illinois Praying Mantis Overview about?

The praying mantis is a large predatory insect found throughout Illinois. It has an elongated thorax, grasping front legs adapted for catching prey, and short antennae. The Carolina mantis is a native gray, brown, or green species up to 2 inches long, while the introduced Chinese mantis can reach 4 inches. Mantises lay eggs in protective cases and emerge as nymphs in late spring. They wait motionless for insects to approach and then attack with their front legs raised.
