Field Notes

Description:

Pseudoyersinia subaptera es una especie de mantis de la familia Mantidae.
La puesta de los huevos de la mantis religiosa se hace en otoño y los huevos eclosionan en primavera. Pone sus huevos en montoncitos espumosos (ootecas), que ata a las ramas de las plantas. La espuma se endurece pronto y protege los huevos hasta que se abren. Cada saco puede albergar entre 200 y 300 huevos, pero sólo unos pocos sobreviven ya que entre ellos impera el canibalismo juvenil, perecen los que tardan en escapar de sus hermanos, disminuyendo la tasa de supervivencia.
The oviposition of the praying mantis is done in autumn and the eggs hatch in spring. It lays its eggs in piles sparkling (egg sacs), which binds to the branches of the plants. The foam hardens quickly and protects the eggs until they open. Each bag can hold between 200 and 300 eggs, but only a few survive as including cannibalism prevails youth.

Habitat:

Sobre la rama de un limonero.
On the branch of a lemon tree.

Notes:
