The Great Devil Flower Mantis Idolomantis Diabolica, the world's largest praying mantis, is about 9 centimeters long for male insects and 13 centimeters in length for females, and grows majestically to a batch: wide and large back plate, sharp claws, wings covered with flower spots, looking like a veritable "king of praying mantises".
At this time, someone said: "The great devil flower mantis, it is 13 centimeters, it is not difficult to kill two Thai shield mantises, it is not difficult to scratch the human skin..." In fact, the devil flower mantis is really exaggerated.
First of all, the magic mantis belongs to the genus Cone-headed Mantis, and the Cone-headed Mantis genus has a characteristic: the shell is thin, and the predatory foot is as thin as a piece of paper. Whether it is a prey or a competitor, it cannot compete, because with a little force, the predatory foot will be injured. Therefore, the strength of the members of the cone-headed mantis genus can already be seen, and the strength of the magic flower mantis has also been seen.
Second, the magic flower mantis is unresponsive. The magic flower mantis is not very strong among the predators on the African side. Sometimes predators have come to them and don't know it yet, so they are controlled sideways. Including feeding live insects, it is still difficult to perceive.
Then, it's one of its major Achilles heels: timidity. The Magic Flower Mantis is actually only suitable for eating some barley worms, white crickets and Cuban (or cherry red) cockroaches. None of these feeds are capable of resisting. If you feed a medium-sized feed like Dubia, the magic flower mantis will even raise its hands above its head to scare it, but if the Dobia cockroach continues to move forward, it will sometimes retreat. Even if predation lacks initiative, how can it be the "king of praying mantises"?

According to these reasons, two Thai Shield Mantis can quickly defeat the Great Devil Flower Mantis in seconds, and the two Great Devil Flower cannot beat the Tai Shield.
Broad-bellied mantis (broad-bellied mantis) ↓
Fortunately, the Great Devil Flower Mantis has a great advantage in size, otherwise if it is reduced by 5 centimeters, that is, it is reduced to 8 centimeters long, and it is no exaggeration that it cannot even fight a 6 cm broad axe mantis. Let's use an example to illustrate: one person 170 cm (wide axe), another person 180 cm (the big magic flower after the reduction), but one person's arms, legs are thick, the other person's thin arms and thin legs, how to fight?
So don't easily believe in the encyclopedia, sometimes the encyclopedia is not right (such as the second to understand the encyclopedia, are wrong a mess, open the mouth), we also have to think positively, there is an old saying called "full faith, better than no book", which also shows the importance of practice.
