Praying mantises are the favorite of many insect fans!

They deceive predators, ambush prey,
They are natural killers, the most brutal predators;
At the same time, they also have a variety of postures and "all kinds of styles",

Mighty magic mantis;
Elegant and playful stinging mantis;
Orchid praying mantises who like to "stir";

How is it?
Isn't it nice and fun!
That small editor today to introduce you to several types of strange mantis,
they
Some have smiling faces;
Some can fight boxing;
And then there are the cousins of the Great Sage...
+ Born "love to laugh" eye spot mantis +
The eye mantis belongs to the genus Ocular mantis of the family Mantis, which is a very beautiful "laughing" type of praying mantis.
They are said to "love to laugh" because most of their forewings have eye-like markings, like eye spots, but more like cute smiles.
They are gorgeous in appearance, but they have some similarities with one of the "three-flowered beauty" of the spiny mantis, but it is easy to distinguish between the forewings of the eye mantis and the smiley face pattern, while the thorn mantis is a circular arrow target pattern.
Eye spot mantis vs Spiny Mantis
To say how to distinguish between male and female, Xiaobian can tell you a simple method: the antennae of the eye mantis are filamentous, and the hindwing hip area has bright color spots; and the tentacles of the men are rosary beads, and the abdomen is more slender.

male
+ Giant leg mantis who can punch +
Giant-legged mantises belong to the genus Giant-legged Mantis in the family Mantis, and just by listening to the name, one can imagine that this type of praying mantis must have a large and peculiar catching foot.
Looking at the picture, sure enough, their forefoot segments expand into a leaf shape, like boxers with boxing gloves, so the giant-legged mantis is also known as the boxer mantis.
Watch me punch hard:
What is the purpose of the giant-legged mantis waving its forefoot? It turns out that they meet the same kind, like to show the markings of their forefoots, one foot outstretched, the other foot retracted, alternately reciprocating, as if to say "I am the same kind, don't eat me" again.
After the display, both sides will choose the way to avoid violence.
It seems that the "fist" is big, and it is not necessary to like violence, but it is still necessary to talk about civilization and abide by the rules.
+ Cousin of the Great Sage Cone Head Mantis +
Cone-headed mantises belong to the family Cone-headed mantis, and their heads are somewhat peculiar: the head is pointed and the top of the head is elongated, forming a protrusion that approximates the shape of a cone, hence the name Cone-headed Mantis.
They are said to be cousins of the Great Sage because of their peculiar "hair ornaments", especially the long ctenophoric antennae of the male cone-headed mantis, which resemble the pair of plumes on the purple and gold crown worn by the Great Sanctuary of Qitian.
Babies of the family Cyperaceae are also characterized by their thin stature and "skeletal surprises", their ability to mimic flower branches or dead branches, and to ambush prey.
How, isn't it wonderful?
Occasionally, the two meet, and a witty "awkward dance" will be staged!
Ha, are you sure it's not funny?
Hmm, who said I was teasing, I was the cousin of the Great Sage.
