(When we were little, one of my classmate had a lot of lice, and) we took a praying mantis [and put it on his clothes], then put five or six lice near it; the first ones, it swallowed them whole, and the following ones, it did the following: it would kind of suck them, drink the blood inside them, swallow it (and then throw them away).'
