FASA 365 Day 280, Mantodea Draconis, (Dragon Mantis), 12-18 Inches.
Carnivore. Prey includes large insects, rodents, and bats.
Not poisonous or venomous, the thorns on his “arms” will sting and its grip is strong.
Its bite is piercing. However, its only claim to the dragon moniker is its size and silhouette. Oh, and it flies.
The male of the species, like most insects is smaller… like 1/4 the size of the female.
The male is also much faster than the female. This helps with the perpetuating of the species as it is able to escape being eaten after mating.
