Praying Mantis

Ants are omnivores, meaning that they get there nutrients from both plant and animal sources. Different species will eat different things, but many ants will eat all manner of edible things, including scraps of food we leave behind.

The difference between a male and female praying mantis is that the female is larger and the abdominal is larger than a males abdomanal.
Adult female Mantises are larger than adult males. That's one way to tell them apart. Quote from the Related Link: "The abdomen of the mantis has several segments. The male mantis, which is usually smaller than the female, has eight segments in its abdomen. The female has only six. The female also has a tube called an ovipositor for laying eggs."

Yes, the praying mantis has an organ system consisting of antennae, eyes, wings, digestive organs, and reproductive organs. The female praying mantis is known for eating the male praying mantis after mating.

Baby praying mantises hatch from their eggs in the spring.

No they do not have blood there insides are just body fluids ready to evolve in to it's new body on it's next shed.

most mantis do most of their moving and flying at night so their not seen by birds.

I worked on the 11th floor of a building and there was a praying mantis on the wall.

Well, My Chicken Just ate one...

I'll Update If She Does Croak.

Mantids will usually eat anything that moves, but from my studies, ants are too small to justify the energy required to capture one. They would probably have a hard time holding it. I had a praying mantis that ate a lizard; the lizard was my pet and I never thought it would happen. This was before the days of computers so I couldn't simply Google the subject. They love crickets; I've actually fed them by hand. They don't have any interest in earthworms, at least mine didn't.

Go to the Baden Powell St peters middle school webzine!

Female hormones. No joke, if you can catch a mature female you're set. I had only a female one summer and I came home and there were rwo males on top if the cage death staring, and on on the fence. Anymore questions? Email me. I won't mind :P Tehsleepingfan@aim.com

A Praying Mantis eats aphids, mosquitoes, flies, roaches, bees, crickets, butterflies, grasshoppers, beetles, and spiders.

no praying mantises give birth from a egg the female praying mantis lays. no praying mantises give birth from a egg the female praying mantis lays. no praying mantises give birth from a egg the female praying mantis lays.

Absolutely not! They make great pets and are easy to care for.

This is one of those animal habits that people think is totally weird. The female mantis is going to need food to make all those eggs. The male is not going to live much longer after he reproduces. Therefore, it makes sense for the female to eat the male and have extra energy to start making eggs. If you feed the female good before mateing her she might not eat the male It seem that this behavior is mostly observed in laboratory settings, when the mantis is starving. It doesnt happen all the time. Mantises rarely turn cannibalistoc in the wild. It's most done in captivity.

They have like antians that they use to communicate with there offspiring or other familey members or just other insects glad i could help peace out

BIG DADDY

Its a insect in the "Mantidae" family/class.

Both the nymph and adult mantis (and many other insects) breathe through very tiny holes in the abdomen called 'spiracles'. If your vision is good, you can observe the insect breathing through the holes by watching the abdomen closely.

To eat, to mate with a female, and get his head eaten off by her ...

To eat, to mate with a male, and to eat him slowly during the performance.

ootheca is the name of a praying mantis egg sack.

Yes. Mantids, like anything else, are affected by the sun. The vitamin D is good for them, and most mantids can benefit from the warmth. Exercise caution, however, if you have a pet mantidm because if they are left in direct sunlight, they may get overheated and die. If you have a pet mantid, it is a wise idea to place them in indirect sunlight, so that they may receive the benefits, without the risks. Keep an eye on the temperature even then, though, because, like anything else, a mantid can die of heat stroke.

Sure, you can get them pretty much everywhere.

They are a beneficial insect- they eat other bugs.

they are big enought to eat many spiders and makes a perfect match for spidera with it`speed but cannot eat big spiders like taurantulas or bird eating spiders

It depends. For a cricket, the bite is the kiss of death. For a person, you wouldn't even notice it.
