看我~我不是螳螂搜主題
這是我第一次見到螳蛉。許多人初見螳蛉可能誤以為是螳螂,因其三角頭型、兩顆大複眼,再加上瘦長的前胸和一對特化的前足,十足螳螂的模樣。螳蛉的成長過程為:卵─幼蟲─蛹─成蟲,屬於完全變態。仔細觀察幾處與螳螂不同的細節:翅膀部分,螳螂水平貼於腹部;螳蛉則拱成屋脊狀。特化的鐮刀狀前足部分,螳螂脛節是「往下」反折,與腿節併合收束著;螳蛉脛節則是「往上」反折,與腿節併合。
This is the first time I observed mantis-flies. Many people, including myself, mistake mantis-flies for praying mantises due to the triangular head, two large compound eyes, slender prothorax, and specialized forelegs. The life cycle of mantis-flies involves the following stages: egg-larva-pupa-adult, with complete metamorphosis. It exhibits several differences with the praying mantis. The wings of the praying mantis are horizontally attached to the abdomen, while those of the mantis-fly are arched in a ridge shape. On the specialized sickle-shaped forelegs, the mantis’ tibia folds downward while that of the mantis-fly folds upward.
