The Predatory Nature of Mantises

There are many interesting features of mantises. Here are a few interesting facts about mantises:

Mantises use their large front legs to catch prey. These legs are specially designed to catch other insects and they quickly grab their prey with sharp claws.

Mantises are very patient when hunting. Some species can stay motionless for hours and catch their prey unexpectedly.

Mantises can easily move their heads and eyes. Their eyes can move from front to back, unlike other insects, and this allows mantises to see their surroundings in 360 degrees.

Some species of mantises can change color to blend in with their surroundings while hunting.

Some mantis species cut off the heads of their prey before eating them. This makes it easier to swallow the prey.

Mantises can be preyed upon by other insects, as well as some birds, reptiles, and mammals.

In some mantis species, females mate with males after eating them. This could be a way for female mantises to obtain more nutrients to feed their offspring.
