{
Who are the “Darth Vaders” of the insect
world?
The Deadly…..
DUN...DUN....DUN...
Not to be confused with a stick insect!
Cockroach Cousin
Superstition: Mantises have the gift of foretelling the future
…….Or Showing a lost child the way home
They even acquired their own form of martial arts:Mantis Style Kung Fu
Clever Camoflage
NOT a flower for your
sweetheart!
Our close encounter with the Mantis-kind
Don’t mess with this guy!
Defense Mechanism:
………Or this guy
Looks like a Broadway show to me
Butterflies………
Hummingbirds, frogs, toads, and lizards!
How does a Mantis escape its predator the bat?
Not two ears……
………but ONE!!!!
Mating....males head STILL intact!
Imagine if humans did this!!.......
