At
nightfall, the Praying Mantis has chosen a spot under a village lamp to
wait for insects that are attracted by the bright glow of the light. It
remains at this point for hours without the slightest movement and
observes the area with its compound eyes. If a careless insect comes
too close, it will catch it with its leg in a split second. Once in the
clutches of the Mantis, the victim has no chance of an escape and ends
up as dinner. |
