"The Praying Mantids" brings together all that is currently known about mantid taxonomy, ecology, reproduction, sensory systems, and behavior (including flight, prey capture, defense, and the hierarchical organization of their behavioral repertoires). Each of the chapters reflect the strong personal stamp and intellectual commitment of the contributors, who have each done pioneering work in mantid research. Many of the selections present ground-breaking data on topics not previously explored. The text is enhanced by numerous illustrations, including a gallery of color images, and a final section of the book covers information on rearing and breeding techniques. The foreword is written by Professor John Alcock.
