Two other names of this sort that have been used for mantises arepraying locust and orator mantis. To understand the latter,we must keep in mind the obsolete sense oforator, "one who makes a prayer or petition.” 雌性螳螂习惯于在交配后吃掉雄性螳螂。尽管存在着这种行为，螳螂还是被赋予了一个具有宗教色彩的名字。Mantis 来源于希腊语 mantis 一词， 意为“先知，预言家”。希腊人把螳螂捕食前高举的前肢与预言家祷告时的双手联系起来，用mantis 一词来表示“祈祷的预言家”。 新拉丁语吸收了这个词及其意义，英语又从拉丁语中吸取了该词，最早记载见于1658年。我们既然知道了mantis 的来源， 就会发现其属种名praying mantis 和 Mantis religiosa 略有重复。 用来表示螳螂的其它类似名称还有praying locust 和 orator mantis。 要想弄清楚后者，我们必须想到orator 一词的过时的意思“做祷告或祈求的人” 〔glede〕Any of several birds of prey, especially a European kite(Milvus milvus). 鸢：一种捕食的鸟类，尤指一种欧洲鸢（鸢） 之一 〔anaconda〕A large nonvenomous arboreal snake(Eunectes murinus) of tropical South America that kills its prey by suffocating it in its coils. 森蚺，蚺蛇，蟒蛇：一种南美洲热带无毒大蛇（真游蟒 鼠灰色） ，捕食时用身体缠住它的猎物并使其窒息而死 〔archerfish〕Any of various freshwater fishes of the family Toxotidae that spit drops of water at insects and prey on those knocked to the surface of the water.射水鱼：射水鱼科的一种淡水鱼，它可将水滴喷向昆虫并捕食击落于水面的昆虫〔dhole〕A wild Asian dog(Cuon alpinus) having reddish fur and usually hunting with a pack. 亚洲豺犬：一种亚洲野狗（豺狗 豺属） ，毛色微红，通常成群捕食 〔centipede〕Any of various wormlike arthropods of the class Chilopoda, having a flattened body composed of segments, each bearing a pair of jointed appendages.
