KokoMantis

Kokomo, IN

KokoMantis is a giant praying mantis assembled from salvaged industrial material, including World War II-era fuel pontoons and recycled traffic-light poles. The roughly 17-foot-high sculpture stands downtown at Washington and Sycamore Streets and is one of Kokomo's most recognizable modern roadside oddities.
