  • The serum required against the bite of the Mantis Khani requires calcium carbonate from clam shells, cellulose sulfide from papaya root and ferric nitrate from mustard plants.
  • According to the Professor, there are only seven species in the Mantis family. There are actually 2400 species across 430 genera.
