It is said that the more beautiful the animal, the more dangerous it is, but it seems to be less useful for this amazing magic mantis. Netizen Margaret found a special insect in the farm, covered with a structure similar to purple flowers, hidden in the flowers like "invisible" hospital, if not the tip of her eyes really could not be found. This insect is actually called the magic flower mantis, which is an insect that is more healing than a butterfly.
South African netizen Margaret Neville discovered a special insect on the farm, which made her fall in love with it at first sight. In the grass, she found a beautiful praying mantis with white and green swirling stripes on its back, and its body was covered with structures that resembled purple florets, and if she didn't look closely, she thought it was a small flower in the flower. These very conspicuous parts are a way for it to disguise itself as a flower and protect itself.
Margaret felt it was really the most exquisite work of art on the farm and fell in love with it at first sight. When she shared the photo online, she learned that it was the magic flower mantis. Netizens were also amazed by the appearance of the magic flower mantis, although it also has several legs, but it is not at all like other insects that make people's scalps tingle, but a little want to treasure it.
The Magic Flower Mantis is one of the top ten weird insects, because it is the largest of all the mantises that simulate flowers, and is known as the "King of Mantises". The female mantis has a maximum of 13 cm, and the male mantis has a maximum of 11 cm, which is much larger than most praying mantises. But the predatory habit is the same as that of ordinary praying mantises, waving their sharp sickle-like forelimbs, clinging to the fly beetle, and then stabbing the prey with the tip in the mouth. However, ordinary praying mantises will murder their husbands after mating, which is so cruel! But as long as the female magic flower mantis is full, it will not hurt the male magic flower mantis.
When looking for a mate, the male magic flower mantis will make a "martial arts master" posture and show the gorgeous patterns on his body to attract the attention of the female mantis. This picture looks quite funny, but the female praying mantis is a good bite.
The netizens saw this kind of praying mantis in the wild, as for the pet, it is not clear what the situation is, have you ever raised a magic flower praying mantis? Share it
