Species Thesprotia graminis - Grass-like Mantid
MANTODEA Gottesanbeterinnen der Welt By Reinhard Ehrmann
Natur und Tier-Verlag, 2002
A catalog of over 2000 species of mantids from around the world with information including the scientific names, synonyms, the associated authors and dates, and characteristics of the genera. There are many pages containing color photographs, though not nearly enough to illustrate all the species. Definitely a handy reference book...if you can read German! Over 500 pages.

 The Praying Mantids By Frederick R. Prete, Lawrence E. Hurd, Patrick, H. Wells, Harrington Wells
Johns Hopkins University Press, 2000
A book discussing much of the current research into mantids and containing a lot of information and data. It is not a field guide, though it contains several pages of color photographs of mantid species from around the world. A must read for mantid enthusiasts, but it may be a bit too technical for those only minorly interested.

Evolution of the Insects By David Grimaldi and Michael S. Engel
Wonderfully and copiously illustrated, communicates the current thinking on the evolution and systematics of these complex beings. Because I feel too small to review such a great book, but obviously think it should be prominent on our book list, I quote from Thomas Eisner's statement on the back cover: "A landmark contribution, not just to entomology and evolutionary biology, but to the life sciences as a whole...A must for naturalists, young and old. Truly a definitive work."
