The principle of nematodes controlling praying mantis is the secretion of neurohormone.

The nematode secretes a neurohormone that affects the nervous system, causing it to become disorganized and making the host feel severely dehydrated, so the host goes in search of water, and the praying mantis will drown when it searches for water and jumps in.

Effects of wireworms on humans

The wireworms usually parasitize large nodular organisms, such as praying mantis and locusts, and humans are not parasites.

Normally, wireworms do not pose a threat to humans, but if a person comes into contact with or drinks water that contains wireworms, or eggs of wireworms, there is a chance that they will become sick with wireworm disease, which can cause inflammation of the urinary tract.
