Review "I just got my copy of Keeping the Praying Mantis, and I'm really enjoying it as an accessible and informative read." "...it is excellent reading, I recommend picking up a copy if you can. Wonderful Pictures and very informative." -Mantidforum.net From the Author This is the book on keeping mantids I had hoped to write with Keeping Aliens in 2001 but that small booklet was limited by its construction. This softcover version is more expensive than the hardcover because the paper is much thicker and the premium color print process used is more consistent.
