So this was made for a new co-worker's first day on the job, because she told me during her interview that her favorite animal was the praying mantis (because it's "ornery"). I made this monster for her the night before, then the next morning thought that I might not want to break her in to our team with a giant, three-foot-long insect attacking her desk, so I quickly whipped up a much smaller version (with much the same design, so it doesn't need to be pictured here). I did, eventually, bring it in to give her a few days later, after establishing that it wouldn't give her a heart attack.

Also, did you know that praying mantises are this awesome? Holy crap!
