However, what if we tell you that these insects have only one ear? yes and in addition, it is located under their belly, and forward to the hind legs. Therefore, it can detect ultrasonic sound.

Moreover, this speaks about their flexibility as well. Furthermore, no other insect possesses this type of ability. So what makes them do this? Well, it’s the flexibility of their joint between the head and prothorax that makes them move their head 180 degrees.

                              So, a praying mantis does like to hold its prey with the front legs in an upright position, as if they are praying. However, this angelic pose doesn’t mean a thing because these insects are predators. So, if by chance, a bug or fly gets in front of them, it’s the end for those little ones.

                              Final thoughts

                              Thus, we got an idea of how dangerous, yet unique a praying mantis is. So, these were some interesting facts about the creature. So, if you are planning to keep one as a pet, then we hope these pieces of information helped you.
