Introduction of Mantis

Praying mantises are invertebrates and are carnivorous insects. It is the larger of the insects, with a body length of 55 to 105 mm, a streamlined body, and a predominantly green and brown coloration, as well as species with floral spots. The signature feature is the presence of two large blades, or forelimbs, with a row of hard serrated teeth and long climbing suckers at the end of the large blades. The head is fan-shaped, smaller, with prominent compound eyes, large and translucent, predominantly yellowish-green, appearing black in the light at night, single-eyed, with three small dots between the two eyes i.e. single-eyed.
Shape characteristics: forefoot leg and tibial nodes are spiny, tibial nodes are sickle-shaped, often folded to the leg nodes, forming a forefoot that can catch prey; forewings are light and soft, covering all the body for the overlying wings, hind wings are thinner than the forewings, the edges are transparent, the middle is a radial purple-red, stretching out to show a fan, converging and forewings at rest; abdomen is fat. The front feet are sharp and well-developed and good at catching, the middle and hind feet are suitable for walking, but sometimes the front feet will also be used to maintain balance, and development is metamorphic development. The life cycle of the praying mantis is completed within a year, and it passes through three stages of development: egg, worm and adult, so it belongs to the incomplete metamorphosis class of progressive metamorphosis. The adult stage is reached after 8 to 12 years of age, after shedding the skin 7 to 11 times during the worm stage. The increase or decrease of age is influenced by the environment and the amount of food.
