    • ABSTRACT We review 147 incidents of the capture of small birds by mantids (order Mantodea, family Mantidae).

We found records of predation on birds by 12 mantid species (in the genera Coptopteryx, Hierodula, Mantis, Miomantis, Polyspilota, Sphodromantis, Stagmatoptera, Stagmomantis, and Tenodera). Small birds in the orders Apodiformes and Passeriformes, representing 24 identified species from 14 families… CONTINUE READING
