This is Alfred Bester's "They Don't Make Life Like They Used To"
...directed her gaze at the Wonderland monument...
A consummate craftsman had removed the heads of Alice, the Mad
Hatter, and the March Hare, and replaced them with towering mantis
heads, all saber mandibles, antenna, and faceted eyes.
The story takes place in New York City, and the reference is to the famous Alice In Wonderland monument in Central Park.
