This creature comes from China, and it has taken the local indigenous people by surprise and has no way to fight back.
Biological invasion has always been a problem for all countries, and a biological flood can bring great harm to the local area. And there is a creature on the mainland that has been introduced to the United States and Japan, causing irreparable damage to the local area.
This is China's native praying mantis.
The mainland was once known as the "world's factory", and its vast land and super production capacity have created the diversity of the mainland's economy and trade with foreign countries.
At that time, Japan imported a batch of brooms from the mainland, but no one found that there were mantis eggs on the brooms, so this batch of praying mantis came to Japan by broomsticks.
At first, they were "muffled to do big things", the Japanese did not find out that this praying mantis had invaded the territory, and after a few years of discovery by Japanese experts, and after research determined that it was from China, the total praying mantis was temporarily named the Chinese bright axe mantis.
The praying mantis is a kind of insect, there are many kinds, it is a relatively large insect, the body line is very good-looking, the color is divided into green and brown, there are also flower colors, there is a kind of orchid that looks like a very beautiful.
There are two large knives on the forelimbs with serrated teeth on them, and what many people don't know is that the praying mantis also has two more suction cups for climbing, right on the two large knives to facilitate their crawling.
This insect is widely distributed on the continent. They are highly predatory, usually camouflage themselves as leaves, waiting for their prey to take the bait, and are masters of camouflage and hunting.
The way the praying mantis reproduces is particularly magical, the female mantis will eat the male mantis to achieve the purpose of mating, this magical mating method has made many experts have different opinions, is an unsolved mystery.
The praying mantis is very fertile and will lay eggs in the canopy, which is the main reason why the praying mantis can flood the United States and Japan.
It was too late for Japan to discover this species, and there was a temporary trend of flooding, because this kind of praying mantis is very strong, squeezing the native praying mantis into no living space, and the native Japanese praying mantis is about to disappear in the field.
The law of nature is that the strong survive and the weak retreat, and the praying mantis is no exception. The Japanese praying mantis is of great significance to Japan's rice fields and is an indispensable part of the ecology.
The mainland mantis makes the Japanese native praying mantis have no room for survival, which can be very bad for Japanese experts, every day to study the harm caused by the proliferation of the mainland praying mantis, although the mainland mantis has been flooded in Japan, but I don't know the reason for the lack of combat effectiveness, at present because of the proliferation of the continental praying mantis, and caused too much loss to the Japanese government.
There are many varieties of praying mantis on the mainland, among which there is more than one kind of sea to harm other countries, the most famous and the most brilliant is called the big knife axe mantis, and those who have caught the mantis know the power of the big knife.
In the face of the invasion of the praying mantis, compared with Japan's fear, the United States can be described as a "miserable" word!
China's big knife and axe praying mantis is said to be a very ferocious species, and its skills are also very good, but as an insect, it can catch birds, and can hunt hummingbirds in the United States, and hummingbirds are an important medium for spreading pollen in the United States.
This kind of praying mantis is a native Chinese praying mantis, the praying mantis can't fly, how did he invade the United States?
It is similar to the way Japan was invaded.
It turned out to be in the eighties of the last century, because the United States imported a batch of timber, but did not notice that there was a group of invaders hidden inside these seedlings. This is the egg of the praying mantis, or the egg of the Chinese giant knife and axe praying mantis, the combat effectiveness of this breed is well known.
After entering the United States, it is like an overlord crossing the Jiangdong, unstoppable, killing birds and eating snakes is the norm, which has brought great harm to the local ecosystem of the United States.
The mantis kills birds with the body of an insect and becomes a natural enemy of birds, especially hummingbirds.
Although the hummingbird is the smallest bird in the world, it is still a little larger than the praying mantis, and this bird has extremely fast speed, but unfortunately the speed of the hummingbird is not enough in front of the predator, and the big knife and axe mantis can easily catch the hummingbird.
There are 12 species of hummingbirds living in the United States, which are the favorite species of many birds.
How fast can hummingbirds fly? Up to 50 kilometers per hour!
It's such a speed, and in front of our big knife mantis, it is pediatrics.
The Broadsword Mantis also relies on its intelligence to catch birds, specifically targeting Americans' favorite hummingbirds.
Some Americans will install a bird water device at the door of the house, which is put in sugar water arch birds to drink, originally for the good of birds, but the existence of the big knife and axe praying mantis makes this love device a trap for birds.
The hummingbird will put its mouth into the hole to drink, which is a sign that the hummingbird will let its guard down.
Praying mantis are very patient and it is by taking advantage of this weakness that they will wait for hummingbirds to approach. When the hummingbird lets its guard down, it strikes quickly, and more importantly, the praying mantis is faster than the hummingbird, so the hummingbird becomes a meal on the plate and something in the mouth.
The mouth of the praying mantis is very small, and when it eats hummingbirds, it is devoured little by little, and some pessimists in the United States can't bear this cruel insect, and the funny thing is that they have also held a parade to denounce the behavior of the praying mantis, I wondered, the praying mantis is not a human, can it understand human speech?
Of course, the march was to denounce the government's inaction, and the proliferation of praying mantis was seen by the public as inextricably linked to the government.
In fact, otherwise, the big knife and axe mantis has tenacious vitality, high lethality, and can even eat snakes, with the advantage of having no natural enemies in the United States, it is easy to flood.
Hummingbirds are important birds that spread pollen, and the appearance of the large knife mantis has directly eliminated one of the largest pollen spreaders in the United States, resulting in the decline of many flower populations.
The big knife mantis is offended on both sides, bird lovers, and plant lovers are eager to destroy this creature, but people also rely on their ability to eat, and they don't have the strength to eliminate the big knife mantis.
The Chinese giant sword mantis can reach a maximum of about seven centimeters, while the body length of the native American mantis is only about five centimeters.
In fact, there are many foods that the big knife mantis can eat in the United States, so why choose hummingbirds that are so important to the United States as food?
Mainly because the water dispenser is a trap, the praying mantis has learned to wait for the rabbit, and with the mantis' natural camouflage, it is much easier to catch hummingbirds.
Although the mainland's native praying mantis is very unpopular abroad, it is full of precious things in the mainland.
However, in China, the praying mantis preys on more than 40 kinds of prey, and there are many harmful insects in them, which greatly reduces the pest's damage to crops and the spread of pests and diseases. The praying mantis itself is also a medicinal herb that can be used in medicine.
The United States has actually introduced this praying mantis. The purpose was to control pests and diseases, but at that time it was still controllable, and there were strict restrictions on the sex of the specially introduced ones, so there was no need to worry about flooding.
Although the praying mantis will prey on some birds, it can also eliminate some pests. This was supposed to be a win-win situation, but it reached an uncontrollable situation due to a moment of negligence, and it is also something that the two countries do not want to see.
Is the praying mantis a beneficial insect or a pest? There is no doubt that the praying mantis is a beneficial insect, and as for the indiscriminate in the United States and Japan, it is also the result of ineffective local supervision, and it has nothing to do with the mainland.
