Desde pequeña he visto estos insectos sin saber cuál era su nombre real, en mi familia le decían cerbatanas o tara no sé de dónde sacaron los nombres, pero como todo, cuando somos niños nos acostumbramos a decirle a las cosas como escuchamos.

Hoy me visito este insecto y mi hija me dice que es una mantis, le pregunte quien te dijo que se llamaba así, contesto que su padre sonreí y pensé que estaba inventando es nombre para salir del paso, pero para salir de dudas lo busque en google.com y si ciertamente se llama mantis religiosa.

Since I was little I have seen these insects without knowing what their real name was, in my family they were called "cerbatanas" or "tara", I don't know where they got the names, but like everything else, when we are children we get used to tell things as we hear them.

Today I was visited by this insect and my daughter told me that it is a mantis, I asked her who told you that it was called that way, she answered that her father smiled and I thought that she was inventing the name to get out of the way, but to get out of doubts I looked it up in google.com and it is certainly called praying mantis.

Le llaman así por la forma en que tiene las dos patas delanteras, perece que estuviera en posición para orar.

It is so called because of the way it has two front legs, as if it were in a praying position.

Es muy hábil para camuflarse, sobre todo cuando le interesa cazar sus presas.

Nunca me hubiera imaginado que la mantis religiosa fuera carnívora, se alimenta de otros insectos, como moscas y saltamontes, y me causo especial asombro que también come tortugas, ratones y hasta serpientes, este insecto hembra se come al mantis macho después de ser apareada, gracias a sus afiladas mandíbulas, ¡waoo! se ve muy frágil para esto.

It is very skilled at camouflaging itself, especially when it is interested in hunting its prey.

I would never have imagined that the praying mantis was carnivorous, it feeds on other insects, such as flies and grasshoppers, and I was especially amazed that it also eats turtles, mice and even snakes, this female insect eats the male mantis after being mated, thanks to its sharp jaws, waoo! it looks very fragile for this.

Es ideal para tenerla en los jardines de nuestro hogar o en los huertos, para controlar los insectos que estén atacando nuestras plantas.

It is ideal to have it in the gardens of our home or in the orchards, to control insects that are attacking our plants.

En fin este insecto le debemos mucho respeto igual que a todos pero debemos tenerle mucho cuidado, porque aunque son inofensivas para los humanos si se siente asechada puede atacar y morder.

Me causa curiosidad, su vestuario ya que es tan hermoso ver como su cuerpo parecen hojas verdes o tal vez hojas secas, según el lugar donde habitan.

In short, we owe this insect much respect like everyone else, but we must be very careful, because although they are harmless to humans, if they feel threatened, they can attack and bite.

I am curious about their wardrobe because it is so beautiful to see how their body looks like green leaves or maybe dry leaves, depending on the place where they live.
