“Think about Praying Mantis. The deadliest ninja predator. Why isn't his animus a lion or a polar bear - two of the most successful killing machines in the animal kingdom? The answer is that these animals would not be right for him. Think how a praying mantis is invisible on a leaf, how they are carnivores who will devour their own species. The female will even eat her own partner once they've mated and, as hatchlings, their first meal is often one of their own siblings. These are the things that matter to Praying Mantis - and if you study his attributes, they are elements that will help you defeat him.” PredatorNinjaAssasinPraying Mantis Book:The Revenge of Praying Mantis Source: The Revenge of Praying Mantis

“Mama used to tell us a story about a cicada sitting high in a tree. It chirps and drinks in dew, oblivious to the praying mantis behind it. The mantis arches up its front leg to stab the cicada, but it doesn't know an oriole perches behind it. The bird stretches out its neck to snap up the mantis for a midday meal, but its unaware of the boy who's come into the garden with a net. Three creatures—the cicada, the mantis and the oriole—all coveted gains without being aware of the greater and inescapable danger that was coming.” KnowsStoriesUsedThreeBehindsBoysGreaterTreeFrontsDangerPrayingDrinkCreaturesBirdSittingGainsGardenLegsMealsNecksMamaDewSnapsArchesObliviousCicadasPraying Mantis Author:Lisa See
