How do female birds choose mates?
A praying mantis adult female does its only duty to its young. This duty consists of guarding the egg case and laying it inside of a hardened protective case called an ootheca. Depending on the location, The Adult female then dies but the egg case is protected from all weather to the most part, except fire and too much water. In the rainforest, praying mantises live year long so they do guard the egg cases to the longest time possible. In the Western Hemisphere, the adult female dies two weeks after laying the egg case.
Can a praying mantis survive with an injured front leg?
Praying mantids undergo incomplete metamorphosis. Sometimes, often if their cage is too dry, a mantis may have trouble shedding its old skin and will lose a limb in the process of moulting. If this happens it is possible for a mantis to regrow the lost limb but only when they moult again. This means that, if your mantis is an adult, then it won't be able to regrow the lost limb.
What kind of fruit does a praying mantis eat?
Not fruits: Praying Mantis's or Mantids prefer to catch their own food. You can purchase crickets, meal worms, or other insects at many pet stores, or catch flies and release them into the mantis's cage. Their diet is high in protein, so if you have a pet and it is unable to get food on it's own, you may be able to give small amounts of canned (ground) cat food slowly by spoon...nudging it gently towards it's mouth. Water it the same way if unable to fend for its self.
