They have triangular heads with bulging eyes supported on flexible necks. Their elongated bodies may or may not have wings, but have forelegs that are greatly enlarged and are used for catching and gripping prey.

Their name was adapted from their upright posture, while remaining stationary with forearms folded, has led to the common name Praying Mantis.
