Cool find! Has a sign that says "Please do not climb me, I'm ticklish." Waited for two kids to stop climbing it so we could take a pic.

KokoMantis is located right on the corner of an intersection in the parking lot of a Subway. Easy-to-find and worth a few photos!

This is located on the corner of Washington St. and Sycamore St. downtown Kokomo. The praying mantis stands 17 ft. tall and 22 ft. long from nose to tail. Her artwork is constructed from repurposed metal. Her torso and wings are made of WW II fuel pontoons, and her legs are made from stop light arms.
