I don't have any bugs. What did you give mantis?

I don't have bugs to feed mantis flies.

Mantis is a carnivorous insect, preys on all kinds of insects and small animals, and can kill many pests in fields and forest areas, so it is a beneficial insect. Cruel and aggressive by nature, food shortage often leads to the phenomenon of big swallowing and female eating male. Individual species distributed in South America and Southeast Asia sometimes attack small animals such as birds, lizards or frogs.

Mantis's recipe

Mantis has protective color, and some are mimicry, which is similar to its environment, thus preying on a variety of pests. And the action is sensitive, and the predation time is only 0.0 1 second. It only eats live worms and holds its prey firmly with its prickly front feet. When you are frightened, your wings will rustle and you will show a bright warning color. Common in plants rather than on the ground.

Its shape can be green leaves or brown dead leaves, twigs, lichens, flowers or ants. Through mimicry, we can not only avoid natural enemies, but also be difficult to be found when approaching or waiting for prey. The life span of mantis is generally one generation per year, and the life span of a mantis is about six to eight months. Even without a head, mantis can still live for about ten days.

The foam-like substance solidifies rapidly, forming a hard egg sheath. Eggs are laid in egg sheaths, and there are 20-40 eggs per 1 egg sheath, arranged in 2-4 rows, and each female can produce 4-5 egg sheaths. Hundreds of nymphs hatch from the egg sheath. The nymph molts several times and develops into an adult, which is an incomplete metamorphosis.

The female mantis lays eggs in a special way, neither underground nor in plant stems, but on the surface of branches. Two days after mating, the females usually face down, and the foamy substance is discharged from the abdomen first.
