Who are the Honeysuckle mantis?

Honeysuckle mantis are small insect like creatures who live in a hive and colect nectar.

Behavior

Honeysuckle mantises live in a hive-like society, but they are complex enough to be capable of individuality. They still opt to work together and to care about the collective for survival, as they can hardly survive on their own due to their small size.

Biology

Teeth

Anatomy

The body of a honeysuckle mantis is tiny and spherical, with four legs and three toes on each. Their limbs resemble mantises', but they feature pinchers on the bottom of their claws that let them grasp objects. There are little lumps on the underside of the underarm which provide extra grip on larger items or when climbing on complex surfaces. They can smell their surroundings thanks to a pair of antennas on their head. Their rear side has a yellow abdomen.

Required traits

  • Fluffy body
  • 3 eyes
  • antenea
  • 4 legs

Color info

Honeysuckle mantis hair is the same as natural hair colors in humans; their hair can be styled in any way they want. The limbs and antennae can also be different colors, though they can be anything as long as they remain close to having a tint of brown, just like skin colors, for example.

Internal Biology

Organ info

Yes, they have two stomachs, one for digestion and another for storage and sharing like ants do. They have a pair of lungs, which is not visible due to the angle of the diagram. Interestingly, compared to ants and bees or wasps, they don't have a queen and can reproduce individually; I will not draw their reproductive system.
