Ebook Download | Praying Mantises: Hungry Insect Heroes | Praying Mantises are really funky and fascinating creatures and after you read this book you'll be taking a much closer look at them. This insect is an arthropod. It has a body divided into segments, it has jointed legs and an exoskeleton. The praying mantis is a very helpful insect to mankind because it is, as the author so aptly puts it, a "super hunter" who goes after insect pests. In this book there are two double paged spreads of the female Chinese praying mantis. One is a photographic spread of the outside and the other is a cross section of the inside. Both are labeled with its parts and have a description of each.
The praying mantis goes through a three-stage incomplete metamorphosis. Its main task in life is to hunt (crunch, crunch!). In this book you will learn about how they mate, how they lay eggs, the egg case, how the nymphs cluster together when they hatch for protection, how they catch their meals, how they camouflage themselves, what they eat, their molting process, how they clean themselves, how they protect themselves from predators and their life span. Is it true the female praying mantises eat their mates? You'll have to read the book to find out!
This is a wonderful look at this helpful insect. There are marvelous close up photographs on every page and scattered "Mantis Facts" throughout the book. In the back of the book is a glossary, an index, a section on "mantises and other insect heroes," activities, and additional recommended book and website resources. This is one of eight books in the "Insect World Series," an excellent science series you might wish to consider for your library, classroom or homeschool shelves!
