The praying mantis will crawl out of the nematode when it encounters water, why don't the praying mantis choose to die together?

I believe that when it comes to praying mantises, what comes to everyone's mind is that after the praying mantis completes the mating behavior, the male mantis will "heroically dedicate" to the female mantis to replenish her physical strength. This is why the world praises the male praying mantis for the spirit of dedication to future generations. However, it is reported that this is not the case, and some scientists have found that female mantis only behaves like this when they are extremely hungry, and the reason why it is successful is because female mantis is more aggressive than male mantis and has a larger size.

But about praying mantises, I don't know if you know their nemesis? That's the nematode that makes them feel painful. Many friends who grew up in the countryside should have seen such parasites.

They extinguish and parasitize the body of arthropods. And the terrible thing about this parasite is that when they are larvae, they are eaten by insects, and instead of being digested, they will parasitize them.

After the nematode grows and matures in the body of the praying mantis, it will drive the mantis to jump into the water and commit suicide after finding the water source, so that the nematode can return to the water to live and mate and lay eggs. This is also the reason why there are praying mantis worms crawling out when they encounter water. One might say, what if the praying mantis doesn't find the water source in time?

In this case, the nematode will still come out, but in the end, both will die, and the nematode will not survive without water, and the mantis will also die from damage to the abdomen. Many netizens said: This situation is not as good as the end!

Friends should have found such a phenomenon, that is, in the summer, often see drowned praying mantis by the pond, and the above is the cause of this phenomenon. So the water in the pond really can't be drunk casually! What surprised me was that the length of the wire worm could even be as long as 1 meter, allowing it to bend over a small praying mantis.

Wire worm is also very harmful to humans, and the human body is infected with wire worm, which is called iron worm disease! It is usually found in the digestive tract, but it has also been found to be parasitic in the human eye socket and external auditory canal, but this is relatively rare! And the most basic way to prevent it is not to drink raw water that has not been treated!

Praying mantis doesn't have a choice at all, and it's not a matter of choosing or not choosing.

That's the nematode hasn't developed yet, and the mantis will go back and die together.

Because the praying mantis also wants to survive, but he doesn't know that he will end up with the same ending.

Because the two of them are in a mutually beneficial and symbiotic relationship.

Because praying mantis also has no way, the nematode can drive the praying mantis to find water.

This is the law of nature, one thing descends one thing, and uses each other.

In fact, after the nematode crawls out of the mantis's belly, the mantis will basically die.

Because I feel like they're both dependent on each other to survive each other.

It depends. Only a very small number of nematodes can survive because the tissues in the mantis's body have been stirred up and cannot support the mantis to survive. When the nematodes are swallowed by large arthropods such as praying mantises and locusts, the larvae continue to develop in these arthropods and will gradually control the behavior of the host, and when the larvae grow into adults, they will control the host to find water sources and drown the host and burrow out of the host.

Praying mantis: The praying mantis, also known as the knife mantis, is an invertebrate and carnivorous insect. In ancient Greece, people regarded the praying mantis as a prophet, and it was also called a prayer insect because the mantis's forearms were raised to look like a praying maiden.

In addition to the polar regions, it is widely distributed all over the world, especially in the tropics. There are more than 2,000 species known in the world. About 147 species are known to China.

Including the Chinese giant mantis, the narrow-winged mantis, the broad axe mantis, the brown mantis, the thin-winged mantis, the green mantis, etc., the praying mantis is an important natural enemy of agricultural pests. The praying mantis is the largest of the insects, with a body length of 55 to 105 mm, and the African praying mantis is the largest in the world, with a streamlined body, mainly green, brown, and also speckled species.

There are two main reasons why the nematodes die as soon as they come out:

The first is because when the praying mantis finds a source of water, the nematodes will drive the mantis to jump into the water and drown, so that they can break their stomachs and enter the water to reproduce.

The second is that even if there is no water source, the nematode will burst out of its abdomen when it matures, causing the mantis to be injured and die.

Characteristics of nematodes.

Rigidus elegans are parasites, nematodes, also known as hair snakes, capillary nematodes, Gordius nematodes, belonging to the phylum Nematodes, there are about 250-300 species in the world.

The nematode body is slender, horsehair-shaped, up to about 1 meter long, the adult lives freely in seawater or fresh water, and the larvae mainly parasitize the body of arthropods, and return to the water to lay eggs after maturity.

After the eggs of the iron worm are drunk into the body by the insect in the water, they will hatch and parasitize inside, especially in the body of the praying mantis, and need to return to the water to lay eggs after maturity, so it will break out of the abdomen, resulting in injury and death of the insect.

It's easy for us to drink larvae in unclean water. There is a certain chance of contracting nematoasis, which can cause urinary tract infection and inflammation, so you should not drink water from a pond and unclean water.
