Camel spider vs mantis

[@cobramanphil]

Not an anything fan, but the bigger bug usually wins. With the camel spider being about 3x bigger it is more likely to win a battle. Plus the mantis is an ambush predator and doesn't even hunt on open flat soil (it's usually in tree/bushes so it can ambush other insects or other small animals like birds or mice). You have to really consider each insect's environment and hunting behavior to determine a "fair fight".

You’ld think the 2nd Mantis didn’t want any smoke after he saw what happened to his friend! 😅

Camel Spider has Jaws, not claws. It also had considerably more body mass than any of these mantises. Put a 5 inch mantis in with it and see what happens.

Mantis fan mad

Size is not an indicator. It's just a matter of chance. Is there a little praying mantis in the video? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYHWh2ubgcqFlbM

You say this is not your video? Give credit to whom you got it from. This looks more like a feeding video with commentary overlaid from someone who knows absolutely nothing about camel spiders or how tough they are. I've seen camel spiders vs preying mantis videos where the preying mantis wins, and it only wins because it gets the grip correct on the camel spider. Lots to learn from this video but I've seen better quality videos. Camel spider will be very aggressive towards other insects, it's not here to wait for it's opponents to attack or defend, it's going to fight it and finish it's opponents off as quickly as it can.

You are correct, I have a part 2 of the fight that shows a healthier and big mantis

[@galerirumahoenik6343]

Mantis is weak

[@meganryan5889]

Not at all this mantis was weak and unhealthy for this fight there are videos of mantis eating birds and mice and camel spiders easy

[@wmden1]

All three were too small to handle the much heavier camel spider.
