Numéro d’image : 11907229
| Praying mantis. Macrophotograph of a praying mantis,Mantis religiosa,cleaning its forelegs. This large common mantis acquired its species name religiosa,& its common name "praying mantis" from the posture it adopts when waiting to make a kill. The tibia (upper right) and femur (centre) are folded and held near the head; these are extended in one-twentieth of a second to capture prey. The prey is then held between tibia and femur,where rows of spines prevent its escape so that the mantis can eat it at leisure. It has a voracious appetite for insects & in some countries it is bred for biological pest control | |
