Green Praying Mantis
Why this green insect is called a Praying Mantis because both front legs look like a symbol of praying. I saw this green praying mantis attached to the edge of the concrete wall a few days ago. The praying mantis it's looks similar to a Grasshopper but has fewer similarities because the two eyes of the praying mantis have a little big than the eyes of the grasshopper. The praying mantis has claw legs but the grasshoppers don't have.
The praying mantis is so aggressive because every time I pointed my phone closer to her she bounced her body and looks like attacking me. What praying mantis does eat? Praying mantis eating insects like grasshopper and other insects. They use their both front legs to catch some prey and use their fang to penetrate their prey.
While taking a photograph of this praying mantis honestly I'm a little scared because her eyes always pointed at me. It looks like anytime she attacks me but this creature is so beautiful and she looks very healthy.
Here's are the photographs of the top of the eyes of the praying mantis. The praying mantis has the capability to rotate its eyes in 360 degrees that's why they easily catch preys.
Please Note: In this article, all the images are mine and I captured them using my Realme 5 Pro and Lensbong Sony 25 mm Macro Lens.
