▫️ Sovereign wealth funds per capita around the world

Norway has the most money for its citizens: $279,000 per capita! (We also recently wrote about the world's largest Norwegian sovereign fund)

The second place goes to Singapore (253 thousand dollars per citizen), and further - to oil-producing countries: Kuwait (210), Qatar (164) and the Emirate of Abu Dhabi from the UAE (135)

In our country, despite the abundance of oil/gas, the state has not managed to save up anything more or less noticeable for its citizens: 1466 per capita doesn't compare to the figures of other oil-producing countries and is even inferior to those of China (2378 dollars per capita).

Why does the female mantis eat the male after mating?

In fact, the female eats the male because of the strong need for proteins at an early stage of egg development.

There is a version that the male unwittingly serves as a necessary source of protein.
After eating the male, the female mantis also dies, immediately after laying eggs in the nest made by her from foamy mucus. And you complain about your life
