Mantis sp. INSECTS OPPORTUNISTIC
 

Following the line, INSECTS OPPORTUNISTIC follow pictures since Louvadeus "Praying Mantis", making a round in one of the clusters of Cattleya tigrina to find a victim.
Scientifically known as Mantis sp. The Louvadeus is a carnivorous insect that feeds on other insects such as mosquitoes. He has highly developed eyes which helps when you need to hunt for food. His front legs are used to aguarrar prey.
The louvadeus stands there waiting in plants. When another insect comes near, he quickly takes it without any chance of escape.
It has a certain ritual sexual ,,,,,,, unpleasant way If the male of the species do not run a good "service", or stay for a long time near the female, she uses it as his next meal, eating away at the apartment of the head.

The Louvadeus is so named because just now, to wait another insect, it is stopped with her paws as if praying.
