Question

What do praying mantis eat?

Answer 1

Hint: We know that the mantises are a large insect order of over 2,400 species. The Mantidae is the largest tribe. Mantises can be found in temperate and tropical environments all over the world. Their heads are triangular, with bulging eyes, and their necks are flexible.

Complete answer:
We also remember that the mantises will only consume live insects. Flies, crickets, moths, caterpillars, locusts, and other insects are examples. Of course, if you're a female praying mantis, you can do a combination of the activities mentioned above. Pests such as aphids, pollinators such as butterflies, flies, and honeybees, and even predators such as spiders are among their favorite foods. Crickets, grasshoppers, spiders, (monarch) butterflies, beetles, and other praying mantises are the primary prey of praying mantises. They are fierce predators that have been known to eat hummingbirds. When hummingbirds come to drink from the sugar water, they are sometimes caught by mantis.
Mantises are mostly, if not entirely, ambush predators. They prefer to capture live prey to get as close as possible to the prey. The praying mantis strikes rapidly when its prey is within reach. Mantises can also disguise themselves, but if they can't, they'll stalk you like a leopard.

Note:
We also now remember that the praying mantis gets its name from its prominent front legs, which are bent and placed together at an angle resembling a prayer pose.
These fascinating insects, by any name, are formidable predators. They have a long "neck," or elongated thorax, with triangular heads. With two wide compound eyes and three simple eyes located between them, Mantis can turn their heads 180 degrees to search their surroundings.
