Praying mantises are often seen cleaning their arms because they are heavily on them for hunting and eating. Their front legs (called raptorial legs) are covered in tiny spikes and sticky pads that help them catch and hold onto prey. By cleaning their arms, mantises remove dirt, debris, and leftover food, keeping their limbs sensitive and ready for their next meal. This grooming behavior also helps prevent infection and ensures their hunting tools are always in top condition. #mantisfacts #manti
