Here's a cool drinking game. Watch every mantis video in this series and drink every time the narrator says any variation of "Huge compound eyes".

Jeremy Dupin 😂😂

[@Dan-n-Duke-jr2ic]

Or razor sharp mandibles

[@SageofCancer]

You're gonna kill somebody that way lol

[@fulanodominicano]

Take a shot whenever a mantis loses the fight. Then you'll sympathize with the mantises as you die to severe poisoning.

[@visionarylocomotiveworks9703]

The Bark Mantis vs. the Rock Spider battle is still my absolute favorite duel in the series.

[@devionm7810]

MeganekkoFury1126 centipede vs vinegaroon is my fav

[@cretinousjester3475]

MeganekkoFury1126: A lot of people I've talked to love that one. I think it's partly where it's such an upset. Most of them thought the spider was gonna win.

[@bkjeong4302]

It was one of the closest ones

[@johnkiks8024]

me too.... this is a great fight...equally matched

[@ThatGuyWithSomeSubs]

same

[@wmden1]

Since the mantis has no venom, it has to be good, strong, and fast, to survive. This mantis was a good example.

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

Thanks Biden lol

Mantises are my fav bug Especially the hooded mantis

I like the Asian shield mantis and the green praying mantis, aka New Zealand mantis

[@iamacrownamedcrow]

same here! they are like lil ninjas!

[@0SmeeTheNightHare0]

Reasons why I love mantises: their look, how they get their prey, species, and how they eat

[@ravenpoolyt7026]

The way the wandering spider and the hooded mantis where just motionless beside eac

[@nickchamp]

Monster Bug Wars: What should we make "fight" a Giant Rainforest Mantis? Janitor: Oh, I know! How about the Spiny Leaf Insect? It isn't aggressive, has no offensive weaponry, and is very slow! Did I mention it's an herbivore? Monster Bug Wars: PERFECT!

[@errorsans9820]

Dat poor insect

[@fauxpanacea]

Yeah. Poor choice ☹️

[@patrickweber8750]

Yeah whoever came up with that should be sent back in time and put up against a T-Rex.

[@Dan-n-Duke-jr2ic]

But it looks scarey, that evens it up

[@magnificentmuttley154]

*@Nick Champ* With size, strength, a thick exoskeleton & being covered in spines, the only other bugs I know of that could successfully face down a spiney leaf insect are a hornet, or else a large spider such as the brazilian wandering spider or a tarantula With it's size & strength advantages, the giant mantis is one of very few bugs qualified to take down that spiney leaf insect

[@cretinousjester3475]

You know you're a badass bug if the Chinese develop an entire martial art based on you.

They seriously need to bring this series back.

[@silverado2004]

The sound effects in these shows are funny.Crunch crunch.

[@madboygamer8822]

Mantis is my favorite insect

[@magnificentmuttley154]

With size, strength, a thick exoskeleton & being covered in spines, the only other bugs I know of that could successfully face down a spiney leaf insect are a hornet, or else a large spider such as the brazilian wandering spider or a tarantula. And only because these have the size & venom necessary to do the job With the size & strength advantages of that spiney leaf insect, the giant mantis is one of very few bugs qualified to take it down. There's no way I could've anticipated who would win this fight. It's the bug world equivalent of Tyrannosaurus Rex versus Stegosaurus; vicious strength & teeth against weight, power, & armour

[@ethanong6877]

Yo, I think that the military could learn a lot about the rock spider on sniping. The camouflage, the sensory hairs. I think a human sniper is a rock spider

[@Pinktrest]

The sound effects they put behind these crack me up

[@RoughRiderElk]

That moss mantis is sooooooooo bad ass looking that is the most coolest bug ever.

[@jant.carlsson5061]

"In the bug world there are spies everywhere. Any branch, or leaf, might be bugged." Lol! This speaker is the best ever. Since I stumbled upon the Bug War series, I have opened up my eyes to the bug world. It's science fiction here on planet Earth.

[@shawaw99]

Very interesting documentary!! These sound effects are HILARIOUS THO!!! LOL

[@Icouldntthinkofausername123]

I pick you guys up and hold you very carefully and just admire your awesomeness

[@Dan-n-Duke-jr2ic]

I wish they'd show how those razor sharp mandible work, if they are razor sharp, how come other predators of the mantis don't get their mouth torn up from eating it?

[@Dan-n-Duke-jr2ic]

Katydid got some tiny big balls to try to step over the spider! I was like, uhh, you know you can just turn around and there's a leaf behind you? But I realized the futility of talking to a bug through my phone

[@allfredo7753]

Amazing that I watch a contest between Bugs v. i.e. The Super Bowl!

[@allenjackson8549]

The mantid is a beast no sucking up dissolved juices here just annihlating and literally eating it alive!

[@Sharkbayt1025]

I wanna see more of that hooded mantis. I hate how he lost...I hate how the swift tree mantis lost as well. He reminds me if a bug was a character from assassins creed. It was so satisfying to see the lichen bark mantis devour that spider tho

[@rickdee6053]

The Dead Leaf Mantis is cooler I wanna see Monster Bug Wars feature that one.

[@Belchmaster41]

@@rickdee6053 you'd think the spider would get the final blow in the end

[@madjaster9620]

My favorite species in the whole monster bug wars series: Mantises, Scorpions, ants The ones I sorta like: spiders and centipedes

[@wonderboy4993]

Hooded mantis never had a chance. The spider was like twice the mass

[@alexdanks6093]

Nah the Brazilian just got behind the mantis which is kinda auto win tbh, if the mantis moves or tries to turn around its dead, which is exactly what happened

[@justinbro346]

I love the lip smacking for the mantis

[@ronaldgreen5292]

For all those "haters!", out there commenting, the sound effects on this show makes it more interesting to watch, and enjoy! This is why I subscribed to this channel in the first place! Plus, you gain knowledge about the insects.

The first one was actually fair-

[@seanjones2524]

Mantis vs Leaf Insect is the invertebrate equivalent of assault rifle vs school children. At least have 'battles' which either side can win.

[@purplepitbullpuppy5669]

love it!!!!

[@fulanodominicano]

"The best defense, against a mantis, is to avoid it at all costs." What even is this parody? The mantis is literally shown losing almost every fight to anything its size or bigger...

[@darknephilim3248]

Damn... Hollow knight just got real. The mantis is even fighting the spiders!

[@vepario1611]

Also, the Monster Bug Wars team didn't think some of these through like the Spiny leaf insect vs. Mantis, Crab vs. Ants and you could count the Centipede vs. Tailless Whip scorpion. Edit: And especially the Stag beetle vs. Ants.

[@jacque92840]

Vepario not stag beetle it’s RHINOCEROS BEETLE

[@nilan_1028]

Mantises eat a lot but are soooo skinny

[@thatgirlendy5294]

Same

[@Mysteries254]

Mantis advantages: speed, scythe like claws, maybe vision Mantis weaknesses: slim body, example: a few scorpion bites could could cut it in half. Wrong timing, quite a small head and yeah

[@dragonjames8108]

I like the music for this show

[@oceandrivejr]

Damn I really wanted the spiny leaf insect to escape

[@heymay9448]

oceandrivejr imagine if it won

[@CarlosTheSpiderKeeper]

Its a stick insect.

[@GigaChad-tx2we]

I just came here to watch bugs get murked

[@ORCA1080]

Basically the bigger bug wins.

[@Cirelgasp]

I like the voice of the narrator.

[@GezoraEditz]

24:47 that thing of the insect is cute

[@FreezinUrTundra]

23:55 Yeah, and so do every other mantis species. It's why they have spiked arms and go for biting kill shots.

Who would want to cancel this series It was my favorite

[@ThorstenHeil]

Damn it. Somebody please stomp on that wandering spider. I‘m so sorry for this beautiful hooded mantis. I once had a Twig Mantis. Damn it, she was so beautiful. Why do mantises amaze me so much? Although I feel sorry for that Spiny Leaf Insect. It hasn‘t got venom, fangs or a stinger. It had no chance!

[@munetheater9196]

mantis cool!

[@gabrielpineda8470]

this si cool

[@kayla6641]

I love praying mantis

[@datgamerwolf5539]

That lichen bark mantis is so badass

[@sliderulelover]

The sad thing is that Mantises only live a year. They are expensive as pets, though they really are fascinating.

[@peeblekitty5780]

Exactly. They're not expensive at all in comparison with most other pets, even bugs. The reason they can cost much at all is cuz they're tricky to breed, since they're cannibalistic.

[@michealprince7391]

sliderulelover good I'm glad they die in a year..vile looking things

Have you heard of the desert mantis? It’s a real mantis that camouflages with sand and rocks instead of leaves or grass.

[@jacque92840]

Dylan Straub it’s pronounced Lichen not Lycan

[@dam.wechill]

For monster bug 🐜 wars you should put wart biter vs 🆚 praying 🙏 mantis

[@George-Hawthorne]

Giant Rainforest Mantis vs Spiny leaf Insect and Swift Tree mantis vs House centipede are insultingly lopsided

What if a mantis fought an army ant soldier ----- which then successfully summoned reinforcements??

[@ziggylothbrook8644]

The sound effects are Like SMURFS coming down off a 4 day meth binge tweaking big time

[@SnakeGodfromSaturn]

Just before they show the actual fight of the hooded mantis and the wandering spider they talk about a fight calling it medieval weapons, what fight is this and where can I watch

[@cobyveron]

Lesson learnt Don't turn your back on your enemies

[@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935]

I was confused and concerned about the mantis turning it's back. But I was also surprised the spider pulled back. It had the better advantage if it struck first from the side. But then the mantis gave its back.

[@mdiuj2003]

Mantis for everr
