There are more than 2,400 different species of mantises, or mantodea, who have been given the prefix ‘praying’ due to their prayer-like posture. When praying mantis feels threatened, it transforms itself into a dancing ballet alien. Females of the species are known for their sexual cannibalism as they frequently eat males after, or even during, mating. |
