Mantis should be interested in this:

I put this up on my Wolfe News Blog too, but I thought I'd mention it
here. The hierodules are the aliens in the New Sun series, but I also
discovered that "hierodula" is the latin genus name for the praying
mantis. The hierodules are described as having compound eyes and big
mandibles when they get unmasked.

Interesting conection hm?

Paul
