mantid

The Empusa, which forms another genus of Mantid, has the antenn indented like a comb in the males, thread-like in the females.

In this subsection the Diptera, Libellulina and Mantid will find their place.

The Mantid are pretty insects, of very different habits from the preceding.

Spiders should always be treated in this way, and so also the larger Mantid and Locustid.

We now come to a very extraordinary family of insects, the Mantid.
