🦗European mantis
Mantis religiosa es el nombre científico de una especie de insecto mantodeo de la familia Mantidae comúnmente llamado santateresa, silbata, mamboretá, campamocha, tatadiós, cerbatana o simplemente mantis. Tiene una amplia distribución geográfica en todo el Viejo Mundo (Eurasia y África), con numerosas subespecies según las regiones. Se introdujo en Norteamérica en 1899, en un barco con plantones, y a pesar de ser una especie introducida, es el insecto oficial del estado estadounidense de Connecticut.
