Among the tyrannosaurus and megalosaurus and other species of the dinosaur world, additional behemoth creatures roam the prehistoric woods at
Dinosaur Land
in White Post, Virginia including a giant praying mantis.
The 13'-tall fiberglass green insect with its red bulging eyes is the creation of James Sidwell. A sign next to this king of bugs says the praying mantis is the highest evolved of all insects. This praying mantis has definitely out-evolved its Mesozoic buddies found in this land of the dinosaurs.
