Yeah, definitely surprising and cool! Thanks!

I was so intrigued by that, that I went searching for more instances... found a couple (it's getting late, so I didn't go very far into the search results I got):

Interesting Praying Mantis fact
Heard this on a radio science talk show. They were interviewing a guy who had published a coffee table book of close ups of insects.
​
He was talking about Mantids, the mantis family, apparently they are basically cockroaches.
​
Made me think of earlier talk about "why didn't the cockroach evolve?" Well, I look at the Praying Mantis eating a humming bird and think, damn, that's a pretty highly evolved cockroach
