Abstract in brief

  • A new species of praying mantis called Carrikerella simpira sp. has been discovered in the Peruvian rainforest, characterized by its lichen-mimicking appearance and unique physical features like reduced tergal lobes and a sinuous pronotum.
  • Behavioral studies on captive mantises revealed that both juveniles and adults hunt by impaling their prey with specialized structures on their forelegs, a unique hunting strategy in mantises.
  • Anatomical analysis showed these forelegs are specially adapted with forward-facing barbed spines designed for prey impaling, leading researchers to consider the evolutionary and ecological significance of this novel hunting method in the Mantodea order.]
