A green praying mantis was spotted in Tehatta, West Bengal, India. This species is among the 1,800 types of praying mantises found globally. The green garden mantis has a notable tendency towards cannibalism, with encounters between siblings often resulting in one being eaten by the other. In some cases, females even consume their male partners during mating.
