The "European praying mantis" (Mantis Religiosa) is the only representative of the order of mantis (Mantodea) occurring in Central Europe.

Females can grow up to 75 mm long, males are much smaller and reach a length of up to 60 mm.

The basic coloration ranges from pale green to brown.

The elongated neck shield and the large triangular, very mobile head are striking!

Segaia - a name you're not likely to forget once you've visited this charming lodge. One of the jewels of Northern Gauteng, it offers an escape to the magic of the bush that reminds us of areas far more remote. Our Conservancy is well stocked with game, blessed with prolific bird life, and infused with that unique African magic found only in the bush. Segaia Bush Retreat has a watering hole right in front of the lodge where wild game come to drink. Enjoy, therefore, stunning African sunsets on the deck whilst watching zebra, kudu, impala and warthog wandering the grounds of the Lodge. A lucky few may even spot the reclusive leopard.

Chapman’s Peak Drive on the Atlantic Coast between Hout Bay and Noordhoek in the Cape Peninsula is one of the most spectacular marine drives in the world. Chapman’s Peak Drive is affectionately known as “Chappies” and is a must for anyone who is passionate about the majestic scenery of Cape Town. Initially constructed during the First World War, this 9km route with its 114 curves, skirts Chapman's Peak, the 593m high southerly extension of Constantia Berg, and follows the rocky coastline to unfold breathtaking views in both directions.

The name rolls gently and easily off the tongue - Segaia - a name you’re not likely to forget once you’ve visited this charming lodge which is a mere 20km from Pretoria and less than an hour from Johannesburg and O.R. Tambo International Airport. One of the jewels of northern Gauteng, Segaia Bush Retreat offers an escape to the magic of the bush that reminds of areas far more remote. It is the perfect getaway for weary, ‘traffic-jammed’ city dwellers who do not want to spend hours on the road to get to a weekend destination but require an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity combined with fresh air.

Die Raupe sucht sich nach 14-21 Tagen einen geschützten Ort zum Verpuppen und kann sich dazu relativ weit vom Futterplatz entfernen. Etwa ab Mitte Juli schlüpft aus der Puppe ein Schmetterling. Diese zweite Generation der Schwalbenschwänze legt im August/September wiederum Eier an die oben erwähnten Futterpflanzen ab.

Die bräunlich gefärbte Erdkröte ist eine der häufigsten Amphibienarten Europas und fast auf dem gesamten

Kontinent verbreitet.

Dabei hat Bufo bufo, wie die Erdkröte wissenschaftlich heißt, das Zeug zum wahren Herrscher unter den Kröten. Sie ist nicht nur die größte europäische Krötenart, sondern neben den Grasfrosch auch die häufigste Amphibie!
