It is considered "the smart Hive" according to Cricket,[1] and was formerly ruled by Lady Mantis until the events of The Flames of Hope.
Description
Mantis Hive is known as the academic center of innovation due to how the Hive is centered around education and innovation. The Hive's university brings together the brightest, best, and most loyal students to brain storm ideas that could benefit and improve the Hives. New ideas from the bright students of Mantis Hive University constantly come up with exciting ideas that the Hives later on interpret with new inventions. Students of Mantis Hive University go on to teach at other Hive universities.
Notable Features
Library
Cricket mentioned that Mantis Hive has the second largest library in Pantala, the first being Jewel Hive's library, taking up a whole floor.[2]
History
The Lost Continent Prophecy
Blue noted that he could see Mantis Hive in one direction and Hornet Hive in the other and that the webs connecting them were mostly invisible in the dark. He later mentioned to Luna how a section of Mantis Hive collapsed the previous year, stating that everyone said it was a LeafWing sabotage, which Luna dismissed, stating that the collapse was caused by "shoddy workmanship," and that the sabotage story was a cover-up.
Cricket referred to Mantis Hive as the "smart Hive" and "academic center of innovation" when thinking about how none of the other Hives have a library as extensive as Jewel Hive's.
Blue later mentioned that if Bloodworm Hive falls, the webs between it and Mantis Hive and Jewel Hive would as well.
In the prologue, Grayling mentioned that the Bloodworm Hive Chrysalis sent messages along the webs that connect Bloodworm Hive to Jewel Hive and Mantis Hive. He then stared at the web bridge towards Mantis Hive, and the silk was mentioned to slightly glimmer as if it caught the starlight.
When Cricket was guessing why the mind-controlled HiveWings were not attacking the Poison Jungle yet, she mentioned that they might have been waiting for the rest of the tribe, as Mantis Hive and Cicada Hive would take longer to get there.
In one of Snowfall's visions, Cinnabar mentioned that the SilkWings of Mantis Hive have been evacuated due to their warning about the othermind.
The SilkWings from Mantis Hive were among the many SilkWings hiding in the SilkWing refugee camp.
Trivia
- A section of the Hive recently collapsed.[3]
