Boxer mantis

Boxer Mantis is a common name given to various species of praying mantis. The name comes from the way these mantises move their oversized grasping forelimbs as they communicate with each other.

Communication

When boxer matises encounter one another, they rapidly tremble their forelimbs, displaying the patterned interior faces to each other and waving them in slow arcs. This is believed to be a way of preventing member of the same species from eating each other.[1]
