hey bro
they get big here i can imagine they get big there,bigger the food source thing maybe,and grasshoppers aint got a chance agianst a mantis they are like the ultimate warrior type bug,brutally effective

as a kid growin up on a farm i used to catch these things and keep one around and feed it big moths and a sometimes wasp hell of fight once it finally happened,watching one eat and thinking if they were the size of dogs was a scary thought.sit there stoned and all the sudden

you see a big bug grab another bug rip its head off and start eating it
and eat it down to wings and lil scraps, gross ass hell
would totally freak out some of my friends as you would imagine

yea man these things will remove some grasshopers for ya you get enough of them and they get established good,
and they dont eat vegitation
just bugs
