About 1930, the praying mantis was widely represented and described by writers, sculptors and painters connected to surrealist movement. Representations of this insect among surrealists vindicate montage as condition to survive. The climax of this procedure is Salvador Dali’s paranoic-critic analysis on Millet’s Angelus, which gives to praying mantis mythology an effect of movement and totality. The praying mantis emerges, in surrealist art, from the series of representations, as a phantom of the image.
