can you do order Mantophasmatodea?
Sure thing, it looks like there's only one family within the order so I'll phrase it by that :)
Have you seen a mantophasmid (Family: Mantophasmatidae)?
I have now
Yes, in photos/videos
Yes, irl
I'm not sure
These are also sometimes referred to as gladiators, rock crawlers, or heelwalkers. They are completely wingless.

Bringing you some Grylloblattidae love tonight!
@tyde-sent submitted: I found this little guy under a rock up in Oregon, fairly close to the Columbia river. Really curious what he was. Super cute little guy!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh awesome find and great photo! It’s an ice crawler, probably in the genus Grylloblatta. Ice crawlers are in the order Notoptera along with rock crawlers. Both are wingless insects. Highly recommend submitting this to iNaturalist.org. Even on iNat, these are not a common bug, with literally only 47 observations in the world for the whole order.
How funny is it that the order Notoptera consists of one group of insects whose scientific name means "cricket roach" and another whose name means "mantis stick insect"? They're trying to be real bugs. They're trying

Ice crawler! Member of the small order notoptera,which only has 30 species. “These insects clearly love cold weather. Their optimal temperature of activity hovers around the freezing point, and you can easily kill one by touching it due to the warmth of your hand. And yet they are also not really good at surviving in the extreme cold — a drop in the temperature to below -9°C will also cause them to die”
Favorite S-tier insect order
notoptera(ice crawlers etc)
unsure
Inktober day 27: endangered species
This is my favorite insect of all the insects. My love for them is too large to be understood within ZFC!!
The mighty ice crawler lives its life fully on ice at the edges of glaciers and ice caves! They are so adapted to cold that they will die if handled from over heating. And they are the inspiration for my blog name. Also they have cute sad little eyes. I would kill to be able to travel to go find one but I may have to sacrifice some fingers so I can hold them.
Also, incidentally they are members of the order notoptera and the only other thing I'm that order is an insect that lives in the heat of Africa. So it's like a cool fire and ice order of insects.
