Praying mantis before laying eggs
The female lays between 10 and 400 eggs, depending on the species. Eggs are typically deposited in a froth mass-produced by glands in the abdomen. This froth hardens, creating a protective capsule, which together with the egg mass is called an ootheca. Depending on the species, the ootheca can be attached to a flat surface, wrapped around a plant, or even deposited in the ground. Despite the versatility and durability of the eggs, they are often preyed on, especially by several species of parasitoid wasps. In a few species, mostly ground and bark mantises in the family Tarachodidae, the mother guards the eggs.

Praying mantis takes a fly from human hand
Praying mantis feeds exclusively on live prey and behaves among peaceful six-legs insects, like a tiger devouring living beings. This time his lunch was a big fly. However, in his appearance, except for the deadly hunting tools, there is nothing to inspire concern. He doesn’t even have a lack of elegance, thanks to his thin waist, elegant delicate green color and long wings. He does not have huge jaws opening like scissors; on the contrary, his head ends with a sharp beak, as it were. Thanks to his movable neck, he can turn his head, turn it to the right and left, lower and raise it. Mantis is the only insect that can direct its gaze and look around, it has almost a physiognomy.

Adorable slow motion of cat cleaning itself
Cats clean themselves
When it comes to personal hygiene, cats are the epitome of cleanliness. They are naturally equipped with the implements to groom themselves: a barbed tongue with which to lick, forepaws they moisten with saliva and use as a surrogate washcloth, and teeth to dig out tougher debris.
