1. The Praying Mantis increases variant chance of a growing fruit/crop in an already existing plant. This means using Trowel to move plants will not work.

2. Increased Variant Chance means increased chance of getting Growth Mutations (Gold or Rainbow).

3. The Praying Mantis does not give growth mutations to fully grown fruits/crops unlike Butterfly and Dragonfly.

4. The Praying Mantis has a similar ability to the Pig.

5. Oddly, the Pig has better stats than the Praying Mantis, despite Praying Mantis being of higher rarity and more difficult to obtain.

Every ~80 seconds, prays for ~10 seconds, granting ~1.5x variant chance within ~10 studs! (Rainbow, Gold and Silver)
