A praying mantis is trying to catch the cursor on a computer screen! After the video was recorded, the insect was taken outside and set loose. -via Arbroath

soooooo cute! like a cat playing with a laser. I don't know if this is a sign of intelligence or not though...

Mantises can be very creepy when they want to be. This is good mantis. When you want to walk through a doorway and one jumps in your way with its arms up, it's not as helpless. Just cartoonishly threatening and kind of unnerving.

I have a similar bug that keeps hanging around my office and gets on the computer...no kidding! I put it in my plants but it keeps reappearing. How long do those things live?!
Thanks for posting this!

This used to happen to me at an old job, with jumping spiders. It was really fun making them jump and chase the arrow around the screen.

Praying mantis chases cursor? Am I the only one who can recognise that the real story is 'Praying mantis barks like a dog'!
