Mantis may be the shadow of many people's childhood. In Sheriff Black Cat, the picture of the mother mantis eating her new husband is rooted in many people's memories. Many people will wonder why mantis eats its own kind or even her husband so cruelly. In the animal kingdom, cannibalism is actually very common. When you are hungry, you can eat whatever you have, regardless of the same species. More cruelly, mantis will eat male mantis when communicating with male mantis, or after communication. This situation is somewhat tragic. In this case, experts have conducted in-depth research and reached the following conclusions.
Mantis is a typical society where women are strong and men are weak. The female mantis is bigger than the male mantis and can easily stop the male mantis. During the breeding period of mantis, the male mantis will try his best to win the heart of the female mantis, but this is the tomb of love. When the mantis is communicating, if the female mantis is full before that, it will not attack the male mantis during the breeding process. It can be concluded that one of the reasons for eating the male mantis is that the female mantis is hungry and the male mantis will willingly give his life for the female mantis.
In addition to the root cause, there is also a fact that if the female mantis devours the male mantis for energy supplement, the hatching success rate of the offspring can be improved, and the male mantis sacrificed heroically for the continuation of the population. There is also a saying that if the male mantis eats the head of the male mantis during mating, the ambition gene will accelerate the increase of production. Studies have shown that in the mating process of mantis, the contrast of eating male mantis is not eating, and the number of eggs laid is nearly 50, nearly half. Obviously, the dedication of the male mantis is a well-known rule in the mantis family. Mantis can lay hands on their closest relatives and have no pity in the animal kingdom.
Mantis has powerful forelimbs. This kind of money is like two sickles. The sickles have a row of hard boulders with sharp hooks at the ends, which can easily pierce the skin of prey. Facing the same kind of insects, this powerful device can be easily taken down. But mantis's ambition does not stop there. She often challenges animals much older than herself, such as big birds and mice. In the face of these large prey, it usually attacks from behind, hooks the prey tightly, and sharp sawtooth can cut their skin and launch a fierce attack. Generally, as long as the prey contained in mantis is born to die.
Although the mantis has a small mouth, it can even bite a lizard with thick skin. Some time ago, a video of mantis preying on lizards was circulated on the Internet. The mantis stands upright, then moves quickly, instantly jumps in front of the lizard, and holds the lizard's mouth with two sickles. His mouth was cut like this. Mantis then madly bit the lizard's mouth and neck with his mouth. The lizard became bloody in a scuffle and finally died by mantis's sword. Therefore, although mantis is smaller in body and mind than other animals, its attack ability and reaction ability are much stronger than other animals. It's the shoulder of the insect world. His ten varied postures in fighting were also changed into mantis boxing by the ancients in China. Therefore, mantis does have extraordinary skills.
