Macro Facial Portrait of the Green Praying Mantis #232045961
Description
Mantises are an order Mantodea of insects that contains over 2,400 species in about 460 genera in 33 families. The largest family is the Mantidae . Mantises are distributed worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. They have triangular heads with bulging eyes supported on flexible necks. Their elongated bodies may or may not have wings, but all Mantodea have forelegs that are greatly enlarged and adapted for catching and gripping prey; their upright posture, while remaining stationary with forearms folded, has led to the common name praying mantis.
