Germany insect surge and praying mantis guidance
The article shows that a summer heatwave in 2026 contributed to the proliferation of the praying mantis (Gottesanbeterin) in Germany, where the country recorded unprecedented numbers of sightings between July and August 2026, with over 15,000 reports—an amount exceeding the total sightings in a whole previous year. Praying mantises originate from Africa and have inhabited the Mediterranean region for thousands of years. They have now spread widely, thanks to climate changes and warm temperatures. Their colors range from green to brown, and they are larger than ordinary insects, featuring movable, triangular heads. They feed on insects and spiders. They pose no threat to humans, as they are neither toxic nor capable of stinging. Females often cannibalize males after mating, and only eggs survive through the winter.
