In this bayou adventure, Michelle Mantis, an ugly old critter, enters
the bayou friends' territory. She is a ravenous praying mantis and is
called the cheval de diable (devil's horse) in French. With her
insatiable appetite, Michelle wants to consume everything in sight,
including Clovis's friends! Clovis defends them, and the hungry insect
settles for some ants, eating one after another. Her stomach full, she
falls off a log onto the muddy bayou bank, but with mud on her wings,
she cannot fly. Josette June Bug, Christophe Cricket, and the rest of
Clovis's friends were fearful of Michelle, but now Clovis rallies them
to free her and send her on her way.
