The mantas family


The mantas family.

Interesting facts about Praying mantises, they are among the only insects that can turn their head 180 degrees. Predators feeling all slick trying to sneak up on mantis and then bam! The mantis can just look fully behind it. It’s pretty cool only the mantises can do this! Lucky, because predators wouldn’t have much of a chance anyway.  Haha! Point to the females because sometimes they eat their mate’s heads even if the relationship is not official. Apparently they can fairly behead the male. Scientists have found out that 30% of the time, the female doesn’t eat them. I wonder where the pray mantas got its name? Well, it got its name from always waiting to catch prey whilst in the praying position………..
                                                                                   Like so….




It’s so cool how praying mantas have pretty much fly eyes(binocular vision), though it’s interesting how they only have one ear and it’s just above their front legs, they can’t pick up frequencies like other insects nor can they find the direction of a sound.
