Mantis nests and mantises lay eggs

The nest of the praying mantis is a miracle, as long as it is the morning sun, there are almost all the nests of praying mantises: stones, wooden blocks, shrub branches, haystacks, and even man-made objects such as bricks, hard cloth... As long as it is uneven, can stick to the nest, and firmly support the things, female mantises can be used as a nest.

In order to be able to observe the female mantis nest in the backyard, I released all the female mantises in the hood, and caught a lot of female mantises and put them in the backyard. Kung Fu paid off, and finally saw the praying mantis

Nest building and spawning.

It was a fat female praying mantis, only to see a long crack open at the end of its abdomen, like two small spoons. Then, with great speed, it kept closing and opening the two small spoons, stirring the excreted mucus. The liquid becomes foam as soon as it reaches the outside of the body, and it changes in the air for a while

It has to be hard.

Its belly and tail trembled unceasingly, and it quickly opened and closed its two small lobes, swinging from side to side like a pendulum. Each swing lays a layer of eggs in the nest, and there is a small horizontal line outside the nest. The surface of the fossa is regularly convex and can be divided into three distinct longitudinal zones, with the middle part being the narrowest.

Many small transverse stripes can be seen on both sides of the fossa, which is a sign of the stratification of the fossa wall, and the mantis eggs are distributed behind each layer of the fossa wall. The female praying mantis built three nests and laid more than a thousand eggs. When completed, the female mantis leaves, waiting for the mantis eggs to hatch in the coming year.
