This insect has four, long limbs, and that seems it's limit sence I didn't find any strange stubs to indicate more legs. It's abdomen is flat and wide. The head is in the shape of a curled blade of grass, but eyes or a mouth is nowhere to be seen. Please tell me what insect this thing is because I don't know and it's driving me crazy!

I think you've found what's left of a male praying mantis after his honeymoon. They stand on four legs, with the front two raised to grab prey. Normally there is a 'neck' (actually an elongated thorax) about the same length as the abdomen and a small triangular head with relatively large oval eyes.

After they mate, the female will often eat the head and foreparts of the male. (Talk about giving your babe some head...)

i could ought to look at it. it truly is amazingly a probability that that's in straightforward words very negative translation. besides the undeniable fact that, no matter if it weren't undesirable translation, the large style 4 contained in the Bible represents the theory of the organic international, or the area of the 5 senses(seeing, tasting, touching, smelling, listening to) understanding. The wondering that you're going with the help of, both assuming and insisting that what you're analyzing, actually could be stupid, besides the shown actuality that it truly is amazingly a probability that it's not. it will be meant as a confirm of speech that is actual out of fairly very logical wondering. no longer with the help of guy's clinical definitions, do any insects have 4 legs, yet there are some insects that do have 4 legs.

I don't know, but it's not an insect unless it has six legs.
