My first encounter with a Praying Mantis

Saw a Praying Mantis at my college, and I immediately took a pic of it. I was amazed that they actually existed in India lol.

You must be wondering why is it such a big deal to see a Praying Mantis in real life? Let me share some facts with you.

Few facts about the Praying Mantis:

- During mating the female partner eats the male partner(most of the times). First eats its head then devours its body.

The male Praying Mantis, doesnt just lose its virginity, it also loses its life (by getting eaten alive by its female partner lol) #IfuMBlog

- The Praying Mantis has 5 eyes. 2 big ones and 3 small ones between its big eyes.

- Its named 'Praying Mantis' because it is a theist and it believes in god and also prays all day long. No that's not true, its named because of its physical appearance.

My friend and I also tried to capture it and pet it in our lab, but it ran away. Here is a video of it:

  So you learned about 'Sexual cannibalism' today. I wonder why do I always give my readers weird things to read?
Anyways thanks for reading, leave a like, a comment and some awesomeness.
