The mantis is a predator !

The mantis arrived in our apartment

The mantis is a predator. His diet usually consists of other small and large insects. Representatives of this group are not averse to eat the unwary mosquitoes, flies, bees, wasps, bumblebees, butterflies, beetles or cockroaches. Large individuals may attack and eat small amphibians (lizards, frogs, geckos), small birds and even small rodents.

These predators attack their victims from ambush. They grab the prey with its front limbs and hold it until you eat. Powerful jaws and the structure of the jaw apparatus allow these insects to chew the pieces even large prey.

Well that Mantis ate me:)
