Can a Mantis Catch a Fish?

Hey guys! We came to the dacha to liquidate the pool for the winter. And witnessed a very unusual situation. It turns out that praying mantises can swim. Who would have thought it. And judging by the skills for the insect is not unusual. It seems that he regularly participates in swimming. The mantis is so confident in the water. When we offered to help him, he immediately took advantage of our services.
No one has been swimming in the pool for a long time and has not cleaned the water, so there are some animals here. Perhaps the water creatures have attracted the attention of the green insect, which is famous for its hunting. There are two large species of bugs in the water here that may have attracted the attention of the praying mantis. The water bug and the Backswimmers. And there's more than a dozen of them. It's also called a water wasp or a water bee. The peculiarity of the Backswimmers is that it often comes up to breathe. It's likely that it could have made the praying mantis swim.

Pretty sure a lot of animals can swim even if they aren’t built for the water, like dogs, however, they may not be able to swim well and have a higher risk of drowning.(mantis should be fine though)

The mantis was lucky because if it stayed to long it could become exhausted and drown

Remember insects breath through their abdomen
