Deadly Spider Vs Giant Praying Mantis Part 2 Educational Spider Study

Redback Spiders are ruthless insect killers that will kill their own to survive. Praying Mantis are deadly predator spider killers. It's round 2 of the ultimate monster bug battle as a venom affected Praying Mantis takes revenge looking for the killer spider snatch. Praying Mantis are ambush predators that have excellent eyesight camouflage and stealthy moves. Their use a rapid strike to grasp the prey with their spiked raptorial forelegs. The Redback spider has a different set of killer skills, it uses a very sticky web to trap other spiders and insects and has the ability to kill small snakes, lizards and skinks. Whats most scary about the Redback spider is it's constant killing of other Redback spiders. This sets these spiders up as some of the nastiest deadly spiders around. Video posted as educational, documentary, and scientific and forms part of my Redback Spider study series of videos.

The Redback spider (Latrodectus hasseltii) is a species of venomous spider indigenous to Australia. It is a member of the cosmopolitan genus Latrodectus, the widow spiders. The adult female is easily recognised by her spherical black body with a prominent red stripe on the upper side of her abdomen and an hourglass-shaped red/orange streak on the underside. Females have a body length of about 10 millimetres (0.4 in), while the male is much smaller, being only 3-4 mm (0.12-0.16 in) long. Mainly nocturnal, the female Redback lives in an untidy web in a warm sheltered location, commonly near or inside human residences. It preys on insects, spiders and small vertebrates that become ensnared in its web. It kills its prey by injecting a complex venom through its two fangs when it bites, before wrapping them in silk and sucking out the liquefied insides. Male spiders and spiderlings often live on the periphery of the female spiders' web and steal leftovers. Other species of spider and parasitoid wasps prey on this species. The Redback is one of few arachnids which usually display sexual cannibalism while mating. The redback is one of the few spider species that can be seriously harmful to humans, and its preferred habitat has led it to being responsible for the large majority of serious spider bites in Australia.
Mantises are an order (Mantodea) of insects that contains over 2,400 species in about 430 genera in 15 families. Mantises are distributed worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. They have triangular heads with bulging eyes supported on flexible necks. Their elongated bodies may or may not have wings, but all Mantodea have forelegs that are greatly enlarged and adapted for catching and gripping prey; their upright posture, while remaining stationary with forearms folded, has led to the common name praying mantis. The closest relatives of mantises are the termites and cockroaches (Blattodea), which are all within the superorder Dictyoptera. Mantises are mostly ambush predators, but a few ground-dwelling species are found actively pursuing their prey. They normally live for about a year. In cooler climates, the adults lay eggs in autumn then die. The eggs are protected by their hard capsules and hatch in the spring. Females sometimes practice sexual cannibalism, eating their mates after copulation.

Please enjoy this complex Spider Vs Mantis bug battle that lasted 3 days. The fight is split into three 30 min videos that have been edited down from over 10 hours of raw fight footage. I’m sorry I can’t make these the 3 min trending videos Google is looking for so I expected to be shafted by the all-controlling and destructive algorithm. Anyway other scam producers will steal parts of these videos and make viral content for themselves. Welcome to KZbin.

It didn't have enough space in the tank he put them in it seems, the mantis kept on getting trapped in these small corners not really being able to position itself which allowed the spider enough time to bite.

[@BloodyElbow707]

Ive had many Mantids before. And ive never seen one act like this.. The way it moves is really odd. Ive caught plenty of spiders and fed them to mine.. I was 100% certain a Mantis of that size would of ate that thing for lunch in a few hours.. I do feel the glass might have something to do with it. I feel a spider can adapt to that environment way more easily than a Mantis could. If you catch another one. Try laying down some grass or bark on the bottom of the cage. Maybe a few more twigs as well. Mantids like to stalk their prey. This one just acted bizarre in both videos.

[@uberganger]

Cam JackaMuayThai i thought the mantis could be infested with those worms which zombiefy insekts

[@tamarrajames3590]

Ubergang the mantis might also be ready to lay, and is not interested in eating...it is not at all behaving in a normal fashion from the start, other than the frequent cleaning and grooming of its claws. Very strange to see a mantis this disinterested and clumsy.🖤🇨🇦

Wow, absolutely fantastic! Here we go again I suppose! That Praying Mantis sure isnt going down without a fight although it is wierd that it didnt take the oppurtunity to strike at the redback during that stalemate. Once again Im excited to see the "conclusion" (possible round 4? Haha) to this epic battle. This is probably one of the most thrilling battles to be featured on your channel. Especially since it's the one critter that the redback has respect for. Like you said the redback keeps its distance and has a lot of respect for the Praying Mantis, and I think that is one if the reasons its still alive. Cant wait for the next video and great job once again Leo!

[@jasont3151]

Hi Leo. Just want to mention that this praying mantis vs red back spider battle has been super entertaining! Especially the stale mate that went on half way through this video. Cannot wait for round three. It is so great to see an Aussie bring out this sort of amazing content, makes me proud to be an Aussie 👍

[@dickgrayson2545]

Jason T Search up lazarbeam for quality Australian gaming content lmao

[@roach_but_roachier]

thx for spoiling

[@COctagons]

I think the best bet against a redback is a huntsman spider. As a wolf spider, it would be more aggressive and quite apt for a battle.

[@rolfeyM8]

Yes, that is true, but ultimately you could just put a blue tongue in or something.. I think the idea is to see what small insects can take it out in the bug world

[@schizoamerican]

Even better a ... a tarantula! I've seen big spiders in these videos and I know there r tyrants out in Australia so my guess is that you put a desert tyrant against one or even a scorpion

[@rolfeyM8]

Spider Shark146 being someone from Australia, I can tell you that there aren’t many tarantulas or spiders in the desert. And even if there was it wouldn’t be worth driving 1000kms just to get it. A scorpion would be cool but is the same issue.. unless you buy one from the store

[@kylerberg4478]

They aren't that uncommon if you just look for them... I live in northern US and just driving 20km you can find a lot.

I have had many preying mantids over the years. I think the initial spider bite has taken it's toll on the mantis. They normally don't use their front claws to hang onto branches, etc. I once had a completely healthy mantis, I put a daddy longs legs spider into the tank. The mantis quickly ate the spider, but was dead by the next day. Anyways, always enjoy your videos!

This mantis doesn't seem as "mantis-y" as others. Usually they're quick, stealthy, and accurate when they attack their pray along with their amazing eye-sight. At the beginning (Round 1) before the spider ever even bit it, he was still showing signs of abnormality.

[@JakeCosplays]

if you look at the abdomin, (the long end or butt of an insect) it was trying to survive without being fed. they need to eat regularily. mostly 2 or 3 days. I reccamend feeding them red runners or crickets, by tweezer. mantids are also capible of imprinting (attachment and reccagnize owners and only like the handler/owner) highly reccamend feeding before the battle please, or it will starve.
