Is it a mantid, a wasp, or a fly? Answer: none of the above. This is a Wasp Mantidfly (
Climaciella brunnea), which is more closely related to a green lacewing than any of its namesakes. Although this picture is featured on Iowa Voices, it was taken in Illinois.

I ran into a couple of these while hiking around in mid-Missouri today. Almost got some good photos, but failed.
Now that I know of 'em, I'll put more effort into photographic said funky wasps tomorrow (last day in the midwest).
The one on the right is "Sore Ike! Anpanman!" which is roughly translated as "Go! Anpanman" Anpan is the Asian bread that has the red bean inside. Anpanman is a super hero whose head is made from that bread.
The red girl with pom poms (Dokin-chan) and the black guy (Baikin-man) are his enemies. They are mold/bacteria.
The little dog's name is Cheese.
Both cartoons are little children's shows. Hope that helps!
Chihimarure (too small after)
I feel better about the 2nd one
Soreike!
ANPANMAN
Anpanman is the anime/ manga

Anpanman is one the older Japanese cartoon characters. He has been around since the sixties.
He is made of ice cream and he is delicious.
