Flower Mantis buzzing on my Finger

she just startet to flap her wings, but she didn't fly... anyone knows why she does that ?
(scientific name is pseudocreoboter wahlbergii)

(I added some music because you can't hear her buzzing)

I glue the legs to my hand and scare my mantis. An easy way to make them do that. (just kidding)

*lol*.. with enough mantises, everybody can fly ;)

I have one Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii L1. It looks almost like an ant. Amazing creature.

She is beautifull, my favorite species... I wish I'll have one some day... Tomorow I'm buying Sphodromantis gastrica L3. That's a good start, I gues.

so thats what that spot is on its butt

@violinblman Two reasons spring to mind. She either just wanted to warm up and insects do that quite often by just flapping their wings. But I think more likely is that she is now receptive. Female mantids emit a pheromone when they are receptive and she just wanted to spread the scent. My mantis is doing the same thing quite often now (also wahlbergii).

[violinblman]

Why is it doing that??
