That reminds me of this little male that we found on out front porch. We brought him inside to get a better look at him. He had the coolest eyes, all black!!!! But my dad picked him up and he saw his reflection in my dad's glasses and started batting his front legs at them. It was really funny watching him trying to get at "the other male".
Mantids generally prefer to walk, makes them less of a target to predators. They only fly when they feel they're in danger.
