\section{The Praying Mantis}
\setuppalet[green]
\color[english]{Praying Mantis} (\color[latin]{Mantis religiosa})
There was never a greater mistake! Those pious airs are a fraud;
those arms raised in prayer are really the most horrible weapons,
which slay whatever passes within reach. The Mantis is fierce as
a tigress, cruel as an ogress. She feeds only on living creatures.
\section{Sacred beetles}
\setuppalet[blue]
\color[english]{Scarab Beetle} (\color[latin]{Scarabaeus sacer}).
The edge of his broad, flat head is notched with six teeth arranged
in a semicircle, like a sort of curved rake; and this he uses for
digging and cutting up, for throwing aside the stuff he does not
want, and scraping together the food he chooses.
