The praying mantis’ life cycle is made of 3 stages. The first stage is the coccoon. When a female praying mantis mates, the male fertilizes the eggs during copulation. After that, the female then lays the eggs with and in an hard egg capsule. The female mantis can lay 400 eggs in the coccoon. The next stage is the nymph stage. After 3 to 10 weeks, the eggs hatch into tiny mantis nymphs. When they hatch, they’re a brownish colour, and they know how to survive and get food. The mantis nymphs have to be careful of predators such as their siblings, birds, rodents and frogs. To become adults they have to moult a few times and they have to do it properly or else they can die if they fail to moult. The final stage is the adult stage. When the mantis nymph eventually becomes an adult, they’re able to hunt bigger animals: humming birds and insects that are smaller or the same-size as it. Then the cycle repeats.
