摘要

在2017年和2018年对伊朗中部(马卡齐省)的Teymareh岩石艺术遗址进行的岩画或史前石刻调查中，发现了一幅14厘米长的六足生物的图案，其前臂是猛禽。为了鉴定它，昆虫学家和考古学家将这个图案与当地的昆虫以及世界各地类似的图案和几何岩石艺术进行了比较。被检查的图案类似于一个著名的“霸占者”图案，基于极光现象，并在世界各地发现，结合了一个祈祷的螳螂(Mantodea)，可能是当地的一种Empusa。这幅岩画证明，自史前时代以来，螳螂一直是令人震惊和鼓舞人心的人类。

Squatting (squatter) mantis man: A prehistoric praying mantis petroglyph in Iran

A 14-cm motif of a six-legged creature with raptorial forearms was discovered in the Teymareh rock art site in central Iran (Markazi Province) during a 2017 and 2018 survey of petroglyphs or prehistoric stone engravings. In order to identify it, entomologists and archaeologists compared the motif to local insects and to similar motifs and geometric rock art from around the world. The inspected motif resembles a well-known ”squatter man” motif based on aurora phenomena and found all over the world, combined with a praying mantid (Mantodea), probably a local species of Empusa. The petroglyph proves that praying mantids have been astounding and inspiring humans since prehistoric times.
