Mantis eating style

Just to Share.....

Praying Mantis grab their prey with their sharp spike front legs for seizing and holding their prey. They feed on a variety of insects like ants, crickets, flies and etc. They usually finish up the whole insects and eat them live.

No 1.

No 2.

No 3.

Isn't the eyes of the praying mantis beautiful? We can all make good use of photography to educate the world about nature conservation

Great effort!
