It's been hypothesized that various insects and aracnhnids that display mate-or-eat (or even mate-AND-eat) behaviours may not do so commonly in the wild, but the stress of being observed causes them to act this way.

This show is kinda growing on me. I love the narrator and the two people giving information. I do wish that, when it comes to spiders and especially Tarantula's that they would give the scientific name. That would be so much more helpful, I think.

The scientific names would be nice as the names they give in the show are usually made up. The Wikipedia page, however, links to the scientific names of many of the animals featured.

The Whipscorpion (Vinegaroon) was definitely going to defeat the Stripe-tailed Centipede because the Vinegaroon had tough armor and vinegar-like acid for defence and for the killing of the prey, it had huge, clawed pedipalps. I don't think the Centipede wouldn't even have a chance!

It's in the bug world it happens. Our own world seems boring compared to this horror show. But imagine these creatures in a scale equivalent to our own.

Most of these are always just like "Why?" Creatures used to swarming fighting solo against a solo hunter. Creatures that have to grasp and hold down prey against something too large for it to hold. Creatures that just eat and the prey can continue to try and get away against venomous one shot one kill hunters. Anything against a katydid or a crab. Like these aren't hard fights. I don't even see how they can continue to try to hype up the 0-however many appearances katydid.
