As quoted from: http://www.x-entertainment.com/archive/animalia/03/index.shtml...."... in many parts of the world, a praying mantis is often kept as a pet. In China, people have been known to tie them to their beds, because the mantis will eat any other bug pests found on the premise..." This Mantis was on the side of my house today. My cats might like it in the house, but it's not likely to get around to eating many bugs.
