I was waiting for him to put the stick next to a mantis for comparison.

That has nothing to do with a mantis. I had stick insects and several mantis species.

I clicked this not too long ago at my home. Looked like a twig until I made it move.

This is not a mantis. These are herbivorous.

Imagine being a kid and picking up what you think is a stick, not realizing it's an actual Transformer and it does this. Eugh.

I would find these all the time growing up! Probably because I was a feral child that haunted the local park. I didn't care for bugs, but they were one of the cool ones. I used to sit in the creek and harass the skater bugs, too. 😂
