Wow...I've never heard of these before, let alone seen them.

I'm sure they would be tasty indeed.

Wow is all I can say....where's the butter?

A praying mantis shrimp? Praying??!?! Seriously Ken?!!?!?! Does everything have to be about religion and the church with you?!?!?!

Just kidding, KBG. Seriously, thanks for sharing that - very good pictures of a neat little creature.

Cheers.

scarier than you might think.

photo in this morning's paper. my first glance thought it was a schoolgirl holding a snake. that is what it looked like from the angle. but no, it was a schoolgirl reading a bible. seriously.

if i have this wrong, i am in such deep trouble.

LOL.

Ken, that is...not a shrimp. A shrimp is a useless little thing scooting around the ocean running for its life.

Look at those formidable claws. What shrimp you know can smash aquarium glass. I wouldnt even want to eat that...looks too evil.

How did he find that thing in the water? Sharp eyes!

They make great sushi out of this in Japan! I believe it's called shako.
