From delicate hatchling to ruthless ambush predator, the praying mantis lives a life of patience, precision… and sometimes cannibalism. In this episode of Animal Uncovered, we follow the mantis from its fragile foam egg case to its final, motionless vigil among leaves and branches. Along the way: explosive strikes, rotating alien-like vision, and the evolutionary mystery behind sexual cannibalism. Elegant. Calculating. Utterly lethal.
