I guess that the word passe is now passe.
The old cliché, is an old, and over-used phrase. "You know what they say. An old dog can't learn new tricks."
Passe, is out of fashion, literally and by definition?

How cool. I have heard about them before. Do the flies standby on the predator's body, or nearby?

I would love to see a female try to fly. 'Bonk' LOL.
The males fly like a helicopter in strong winds. They have such a different morphology than females.
As a preteen, I was interested in being a mantis biologist. I was fascinated how their morphology had been derived from roach ancestors.

They're wonderful.
I wish that, the market for Eurasian & Carolina Mantises, was made illegal. Unless there's known consequences to breeding and release, I think it would be ideal for the gardens, where they are native too.
Females look capable of eating big grasshoppers.

Is this the Arizona Stagmomantis?
A stouter abdomen, and thick pro-thorax. Big head. Native.
