About the Book
Enter the world of the praying mantis.
From birth, emerging from their Oothecae with hundreds of little siblings, all no bigger than a skeeter, through their first meal of a tiny pavement ant, through a life camouflaged in our gardens, beneficial, watching, green as the grass around them.
See the beauty of the microwilderness through the eyes of one of the insect world's most beautiful hunters.
