Numéro d’image : 11907208
| A mantis,Acontiothespis sp.,exhibiting aggressive mimicry. The insect's appearance provides camouflage as it lies in wait for prey. The mantis is a daytime hunter,with a voracious & indiscriminate appetite for insects,lizards,frogs and even small birds. In some countries (eg. USA) this aspect is exploited & the mantis bred for biological pest control. The creature is well known for its cannibalism; the female often feeds on her partner during mating. The mantis (meaning soothsayer or prophet) adopts its familiar praying stance when waiting to make a kill. The prehensile forelegs that effect this stance extend & retract rapidly in the act of grasping prey | |
