Mantis religiosa - part 3

In this post I will show pictures of my female Mantis.
Females are much larger and heavier than males.
And they are aggressive.

Female praying mantises can eat their young if they did not have time to hide after hatching from the egg.

Mantis females can attack not only insects of the same size, but also larger ones than themselves.

And between females there are frequent cases of cannibalism.

Males, on the other hand, feed on fairly small insects.

The photos I were taken with a Lenovo TAB 2 A10-70L tablet
See how my beauty looks at me? :-)
