Are mantis and knife mantis animals?

In fact, "Dao Lang" is not only a place name in Nanjing, but also called "Dao Lang" in many places. Probably mantis's forearms are like two broadswords, which is why it is so famous.

Mantis raised his forearm (or front leg) and stood upright as if praying. His bulging eyes have a smart breath, and his head can be turned at will, which makes people respect and attach importance to it since ancient times. The ancient Greeks gave it a name with divination, prophecy and prophetic significance-mantis. Mantis is a big family, with more than 1800 known species in the world, with the most species in the tropics. There are more than 100 species known in China, among which Eupatorium odoratum, Eupatorium odoratum and Eupatorium adenophorum are important natural enemies of plant pests. Mantis eggs are surrounded by an egg sheath, which can be used as medicine and is an important medicinal resource insect. The most surprising thing is that when mating, the female mantis sometimes eats the head of the male mantis and stutters completely, but the male mantis does not make any resistance, so some people call the male mantis "spoony husband". In fact, the mated female mantis urgently needs to supplement a lot of nutrition to meet the formation of eggs in the big belly, and make a lot of colloidal substances to wrap the eggs in the future. The male mantis dedicated himself to his children.
