Figure 7From: Biodiversity, ecology, and behavior of the recently discovered insect order MantophasmatodeaGreen morph of a non-pregnant Austrophasma gansbaaiense female (S32, Gansbaai) attacking a pregnant female from an undescribed Austrophasmatid species (S18; Vanrynsdorp). The sequence demonstrates the use of the flexible body axis and the arolia in a vigorous attack, as well as the ability to strike extremely rapidly (image from a video recorded in the laboratory).Back to article page
