The Praying Mantis eat locusts for dinner. In Thailand, the people eat them roasted and dipped in chocolate or honey - The Locusts.

Such weird alien looking creatures. Good they eat the garden pests though.

Very alien like, He's the only insect that can turn its head. Very people friendly. I'll often help them find a plant that has lots of aphids.

I've seen a few of the huge grasshoppers that look like locust...they fly singularly here..no flocks, thank heaven. They are the size of the small birds, but I've seen a few carcasses. Perhaps it's the small animals eating them. Ryot loves to chase them...I don't think he's tried to eat one. They exude that tarry looking substance when captured... as kids we said he was chewing tobacco! As for the mantis' none seen so far.
