If aliens came to Earth, I think they'd look like a praying mantis.  Or maybe they already have.

I know that the Praying Mantis is named for the way it's front feet are bent into a praying posture.  But they're great in a garden for preying on other less benign insects.  I was glad to see him in the garden.
