This is a short Instagram video of a recently hatched Peruvian dragon mantis swaying on a person’s thumb. When full grown, a female dragon mantis can reach lengths up to 5-inches, and males up to 3-inches. Some dragons! It’s hard to believe these things are real, isn’t it? Mother Nature is totally nuts. I should know, I saw her flash her boobs at a funeral once. I don’t even think she knew the guy, she just crashed it and whipped them out mid-eulogy.
