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.

[@goootooo1710]

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.

[@tearsofthelily]

I been waiting for this since I watched the first video keep up the great work 🕷️

He wasn't bitten in the first episode. He was scared of you, and pretending to be a leaf. He also wanted to remove the webbing he caught his legs in a couple times.

[@ryanplummer727]

rule of thumb in praying mantis is that the female is always bigger than the male. The female reaches the overall length of 10 inches while the male measures around 6 to 7 inches. The male has relatively slender body while the females are fatter. Different species have different lengths estimating 96-105 mm, 54-70 mm and 32-38 mm.

The mantis was never bit at all, in the last video it was shaking because in the wild they do that so any predators think they are a leaf

[@TheNo1redrooster]

The pray mantis had a small abdomen when you put them together, and i almost for got that the female dies once she lays her eggs and makes her babys crysulis. Ithink it must be one of the two things I've commented on. There was diffinately a bug of some kind on her that wasn't there the next day.

[@sceneAMERIKA]

This is probably a stupid question, but I don't know much about bugs. I was wondering, if the manchus were to eat the spider, wouldn't the Mantis also eat its venom and die anyways?

Leo the mantis needs some water and food and something on the ground to get traction. I have them as pets and they eat black widows pretty easy. That mantis needs easier prey first. It's hungry.

[@animalsgaming5456]

Nick C I agree throughout the whole video the mantis was either trying to hang onto the stick, keep its footing on the glass, or clean the vaseline off of its self I think the vaseline may have poisoned or harmed the mantis because when it cleaned its self it ate some vaseline.

It's a weird situations this for me as I know if a mantis is hungry it would of just straight away gone for the red back and if it got bit it would take that risk just to try get food die or not but I believe if the mantis got the correct grip which they are good at doing it would just be rip redback

[@justinkelly7946]

the spider never bit the mantis in part 1, the mantis was sick from cleaning the vaseline off her feet.

My theory as to why the Mantis plays dead is perhaps its a way for the spider to go oh great I killed it. The Mantis will pop up and say oh hell no, I believe the Mantis in nature has had to deal with tons and tons of dangerous insects. So it has had to get very creative in dealing with dangerous insects. Its only a theory I'm probably wrong.

I've noticed that whatever species you have in there, it's a lot clumsier than the ones I'm used to seeing. He doesn't handle walking on a stick very well. I seems to me the one you have is more adapt at hunting from the sides of trees or something large and sturdy over small twigs or grass.

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.

How is there any question about sex of the mantis? There's only 5 segments in the tail and the last one on the end is large compared to a male with 7 segments and smaller, multiple end segments. No question. Can't argue with facts.

[@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

[@PatriotCoinRings]

I personally don't care about which one wins but more curious if it's in fact a battle that wouldn't happen in nature? The red on the spiders back is a cautionary sign to most animals that it's deadly and of course the mantis itself being in a tank without it's natural camouflage among green plants doesn't have it's primary offensive position which is to be stealth from an invisible position. Had this occured in nature would there be day 1, 2, 3, etc? I'm pretty sure both recognize the other as mincing and dangerous and more than likely would have parted ways long ago. To be caged together forced to fight which is evident by how long this is taking, I'm not so certain we are watching what you are indicating as something that would have occured in nature.

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.
