Praying mantises dig in dirt primarily to create a safe environment for laying their eggs. The female mantis often buries her ootheca, or egg case, in the soil to protect the eggs from predators and harsh weather conditions. Additionally, some mantis species may dig to find shelter or suitable microhabitats to help regulate their temperature and humidity. Overall, digging serves essential functions for their reproductive success and survival.
