Erfolgreiche Fangschläge weiblicher adulter Gottesanbeterinnen (3 Individuen; grün und braun) in sitzender und hängender Haltung. Sofortiger Freßbeginn an den sich heftig wehrenden Beutetieren (Wanderheuschrecken, Locusta migratoria, larval und adult) meist am Kopf. Einsatz bzw. Nachgreifen beider Fangbeine beim Festhalten der Beute und beim Verzehr einzelner Beuteteile. Kurzes Reinigen der Mundwerkzeuge im sonst pausenlosen Fressen weicher wie harter Beuteteile. Darminhalt der Beute wird nicht verzehrt.

Successful capture strokes of female adult praying mantises (3 individuals; green and brown) in sitting and hanging positions. Immediate commencement of eating of the prey animals (larvae and adult migratory locusts, Locusta migratoria), which are still attempting to defend themselves, usually at the head end. Use of both raptorial legs or regripping with them when holding the prey and when eating individual pieces. Brief cleaning the mouth parts in the otherwise uninterrupted eating of soft and hard parts of the prey. The prey's intestinal contents are not eaten.
