Order Mantodea

in voilk •  17 days ago

    Where I live, it is called praying mantis or congcorang. It seems not an exaggeration if people call it Praying mantis because its two front legs often make movements like they are praying or in Javanese sungkeman.

    Praying mantis or Sentadu mantis is included in the Mantodea order. This type of mantis is able to turn its head and front legs as if praying. In English it is called Praying Mantis (a mantis that often prays).

    This type of mantis that I have found consists of green and light brown colors. Usually, these grasshoppers camouflage with their surroundings to avoid attacks from their enemies or to disguise themselves. These grasshoppers are a type of carnivorous insect. Other insects are food for the Sentadu grasshopper.
