My first attempt at a praying mantis. What do you think?

Some interesting things about praying mantises:

• Praying mantises camouflage themselves as twigs. When prey, such as a small insect comes near, they snap the segment at the end of their forelegs shut with remarkable speed to trap their victim.
• Larger species of praying mantises also prey on small lizards, frogs, birds, snakes, and even rodents. Mantises are often aggressive towards one another, and even eat each other given half a chance. :-O
• Praying mantises are masters of camouflage. Some species in Africa and Australia are even able to turn black after molting if there’s been a fire to blend in with the blackened environment. A black origami mantis would look pretty cool

You can read more about these amazing creatures on Wikipedia.

Diagram for this model will be coming soon.

Any questions, feedback or suggestions for improvement, please comment!
