Korean Mantises

[j7638]

from Korean website​

​

There are 8 mantises in Korea.​

​

The biggest mantis is 'Tenodera sinensis'. The first picture. It's 8-10cm (4-5 inch)​

​

* In Korea, we confused 'Tenodera sinensis' and 'Tenodera aridifoloa'.​

​

but recently, some researches say​

​

"They are different kinds of species each other."​

('Tenodera aridifoloa' lives in South-East Asia, 'Tenodera sinensis' live in Korea, Japan, China ect..)​

​

So nowadays we called them 'Tenodera sinensis'.​

----​

The smallest mantis is 'Amantis nawai'​

​

it's just 1-2cm (0.5-0.8 inch)​

​

female doesn't have wings. but male has.​

​

'Amantis nawai' is special mantis. Because female reproduces without male.​

​

but sometimes they mate together.​
