Awaken your curiosity and you will see ...! - Eveille ta curiosité et tu verras...!

            These 2 imps, here present, measure 3 to 4 cm in length for a few millimeters in thickness.
The adult Empuses disappear at the end of summer, leaving room for their offspring.
At this stage they are called imps, because of their 2 long horns and their curved abdomen.
L’Empuse is a discreet inhabitant, often difficult to see in the shrubs and tall grass. You have to know how to take the time to get on all fours and sharpen your senses, to meet your curious gaze.
It's an astonishing and fascinating insect, with an alien face topped with an amazing hat, and seems straight out of the imagination of a science fiction author.


Ces 2 diablotins, ici présent, mesurent 3 à 4 cm de longueur pour quelques millimètres d'épaisseur.
Les Empuses adultes disparaissent à la fin de l’été laissant alors la place à leur progéniture.
A ce stade ile se nomment diablotins, en raison de leur 2 longues cornes et de leur abdomen recourbé.
L’Empuse est une habitante discrète, souvent difficile à voir dans les arbustes et les herbes hautes. Il faut savoir prendre le temps de se mettre à quatre pattes et aiguiser ses sens, pour croiser son regard curieux.
C'est un insecte étonnant et fascinant, au faciès d’alien surmonté d’un étonnant chapeau, et semble tout droit sorti de l’imagination d’un auteur de science-fiction.
