Praying mantises are what scientists call “generalist” hunters, meaning they eat pretty much whatever they want. Despite their eclectic taste, however, no one has ever seen a praying mantis eat fish—until now.

As a great old friend of mine, Lt. Col. Morris Mehta, a British Indian Raj Army veteran of WW2 Burma then post-Indepence, observed to me forty years ago this mid October, beside the River Ganges between 1967 Beatles, extremely exppensive Mahesh Yogi Transcendental Meditation, Rishhikesh and the Hindu’s No. 2 Holy of Holies, Haridwar, “There are MONSTERS in this river, I tell you, Paul!”
That VERY fine Angler and really lovely man, I believe, has in the years since been proven absolutely right.
As for those Mantis b’stards … yet another threat.
