<\/a><\/p>\nI did my 5 a day. My mum was going to give me medium level, but I told her that was too easy and it should be spicy. I got a bit muddled with my long multiplication, but after sitting down with my Mum and going over it a couple of times we worked out exactly where I was going wrong. It was a simple mistake, but it messed my whole sum up!
\nI did Sumdog, followed up by some Epic.
\nThis is my picture for the photography challenge. I bet I will post a lot of mantis! A big question about my last mantis was why do the females have wings if they don’t fly. Mantis do threat displays using their wings – their wings sometimes have swirly shapes on that look like eyes. This makes them look bigger than they are and predators are confused by the eyes. I have a couple of species like that so I’ll try to show them soon.<\/p>\n
This is Autumn. She is a Deroplatys Truncata (Deadleaf Mantis). She’s not easy to take pictures of. Her species look like dead leaves so they can hide in amongst dead leaves and catch prey. Natural prey to praying mantis are flying insects. Autumn isn’t an adult yet<\/p>\n I’ve also found a picture to show an adult female dead leaf mantis doing a threat display so you can see how they use their wings for that. You can see this species has black dots on their arms to look like eyes.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
