Uno strano ospite

August 2, 2009 // Posted in animals  


Stamattina, sul balcone, abbiamo trovato uno strano ospite. Trattasi di mantide religiosa, in transito dalle nostre parti. Probabilmente si era risvegliata da poco ed era poco reattiva, tanto che si e’ lasciata fotografare senza problemi.
Che dire, un insetto decisamente interessante ma che ha abitudini piuttosto spiacevoli. Speriamo che la componente femminile dei Sacchibelli non si ispiri alle abitudini delle mantidi religiose femmine, celebri per il loro cannibalismo post-nuziale 🙁


This morning we found on our balcony a strange and unexpected guest: it was a praying mantis that spent all the morning on the balcony allowing us to take a lot of pictures.
Mantis is an interesting insect, but let’s hope that Sacchibelli’s female component will not emulate sexual cannibalism typical of female praying mantis…
