Locusts have bowed legs like people worship. That's why it's called a praying mantis. What is the life of a locust?
Live in the tropics to the sub-tropics
Locusts live in the tropics to the sub-tropics. Most are green, but some are brown and yellow. Locusts are also known by the names of locusts, congcorang, walang kekek, walang kadung, and jadadak. There are so many species of locust mantis. The species that most live in Indonesia is Hierodula vitrea.
Ooteka
Adult female mantis can lay up to 300 eggs. The eggs are placed in a nest called ooteka. Ooteka is a nest made of material removed from its mother's body. Ooteka which initially shaped white foam that will harden and form small spaces in it. The eggs of the grasshopper are protected from the heat and rain in these ooteka until the time of hatching.
Metamorphosis is not perfect
Like other insects, the worship mantis is also morphed. The newly hatched hatchlings of eggs are shaped like small shrimp. They break through the bottom of the ooteka and hang upside down on thin threads. His body is protected by a thin membrane. After a while, this thin membrane is torn apart. From it came the children of locusts of worship that resembled an adult grasshopper. Metamorphosis of the worship mantis includes imperfect mammorphosis because of its shape as a child and adult almost the same. Distinguish the butterflies that originally form a caterpillar then become a cocoon.
Carnivore
Locusts are carnivorous. They eat other insects that are smaller in size. Adult cemetery worms eat so much every day that their body size is bigger. They have to change their skin every time their body gets bigger. During his lifetime the locus can change the skin as much as 5 to 10 times depending on the species.
Despite having 2 pairs of wings, the worship mantis are not good pilots. Usually only male flying mantis. The female devotees, whose size is larger, can not fly. His wings are used to frighten the enemy. When the wings are spread, the worship mantis will look bigger and more fierce.
Great post mate! But you're having problems with your tags. It's "steemit" not "stimit" and "photography", not "fotografi". It's up to you if you want to use them.
