Scientists discovered mantis hunting fish

Biologists have discovered that in India there are mantis species that do not hunt other insects, but catch larger prey on the lake. The article describes the mantis species published in the Orthoptera Research Journal.

Mantis is one of the largest carnivorous insects on Earth.

Mr. Roberto Battiston from the Brenta Valley Museum (Italy) said it seems that these fish-hunting mantises can remember places where they encounter certain prey types, especially those that can be easily hunted. , help them survive and make them return to "the places where the most biting fish" are.

Mantis is one of the largest carnivorous insects on Earth. They not only hunt for invertebrates, but also small lizards, frogs and birds.

Looking ahead, scientists plan to start a new series of observations for the mantis. Observers hope that will help to find out whether or not mantis hunts for fish, how they catch fish and whether they remember "fishy places" .
