There is a new Coyote Peterson video. The video is called." Incredible Leaf Mantis".
Here is the video:
Coyote Peterson is in Costa Rica. He is trying to find a Leaf Mantis. He found a Leaf Mantis! I never knew what a Leaf Mantis was intell I saw one.
The colors on Leaf Mantises are all green with one black circle near the face with yellow around it.
Coyote Peterson said Leaf Mantises are very strong. The Leaf Mantis that Coyote Peterson found is very camouflaged in the leaves. The Leaf Mantis looks just like a leaf. Coyote Peterson said the Leaf Mantis waits for an insect to come by, grabs it with its mandibles, and then crushes it. Then he eats it. The Leaf Mantis eats anything that it comes across. The big Leaf Mantises eat frogs and lizards. The Leaf Mantis bit Coyote Peterson on the finger. He said the Leaf Mantis is very hard to find because they are so camouflaged in the leaves. It has very good eyesight. Coyote Peterson said the Leaf Mantis is very smart because it knows how to wait for the insects. He also said that you could almost see what it's thinking in its head. Coyote Peterson said he always loved prey mantises since he was a little kid.
