Science - Environment & Ecology / insect pests | | Spanish term or phrase: pray(s) | Context: Plantones de cítricos (sin producción de fruta) contra ***prays***, pulgones, trips, mosca blanca y cochinillas
One of the pests that an insecticide can be used against. I doubt that "praying mantis" is the answer. Thanks in advance for your suggestions. |

Explanation:
Entiendo que se refiere al que entre nosotros comúnmente se llama "mamboretá" o "mantis que reza". Se le llama así porque este animalito junta sus patitas delanteras de modo tal que pareciera estar rezando.
Espero te ayude.

Asker: Is this a common insect pest such as aphids, white fly etc.?
Asker: Thanks for the reference. These insects are carnivorous and therefore are not a plant pest.
