About four years ago I found a strange brown bug in my backyard near the end of the summer (mid-August). I caught it in a jar and after looking closely at this half inch bug I relized it had the characteristic front legs of a praying mantis. I was quite shocked because I live in Anchorage Alaska.

Chaka S. Roseman…..For sometime now I have had many praying mantis visit my door step. At first is seemed like it was a male, since it was small. It would move across my door stop up and down side to side, but I would never notice it. For several days the mantis stayed. I actually named it BOB, since it was their for awhile. “BOB” left and didn’t return one day. Following “BOB’s” departure another mantis came to my doorstep. It was larger this time so it had to be a female. The female I named her “BILLY JEAN”. She stayed for awhile also for sometime. For the past couple of days a mantis hasn’t been at my doorstep. I’m not sure what it means or what? Do you or anyone know? This has never happened to me before from what I can remember.

for a week now there is a large praying mantis in my garden right by my door. he/she just goes from the top of the bush to the bottom. its getting cold here in day its in the 40’s i dont want it to die from the cold. is there anything i can do to make this beautiful bug live throughout the winter months. doing research i read that people keep them as pets. if i would to try to protect this bug. what foods would i give it to survive and what kind of envirionment would i have to set up for it? any advice would be appreciated. i feel so dumb in asking these questions but hey if he could live longer why not? its just that hes been staying here over a week. and i am getting attached to it. thanks

Hello Everyone
Let me tell you about my experience regarding the Praying Mantis. At 3:30 or 4am in the morning on September 9,2009, I was instructed to read Ephesians 2 by the Holy Spirit. Well I was obedient and did what thus saith the Lord. Well I rejoice over what I read, it rejuvenated my spirit. So I began to pray ond give all the glory to God. It was amazing, because God’s glory overshadowed me like never before. The Glory was so evident and powerful that my physical body could not even stand still. After I finished praying and getting ready for the morning I walked out of my door and the Praying Mantis was right there, directly next to my apartment. The Praying Mantis looked at me like yes I was sent here for you. This Mantis was Praying, I mean his antennas was down, legs spreaded, and he was really praying. Now I live in an apartment complex, which has 5 apartments. When I went to work the Praying Mantis was by my door,and when I came home he was there in the same spot. That praying Mantis was there from 7:30 am to 10pm. He was devouted and did what he was sent by God to do. God sent him there for confirmation, God knows we are human and will show us HE means what He says. When God made the covenant with Noah, God gave the rainbow as confirmation. I know God sent that Praying Mantis just for me.

Lucky me! I have a Praying Mantis that has been hanging on to the hood of my car for a day. He/She has gone to the train station and back 2 times.
