In entomology class in college when I learned that mantids are essentially predatory roaches and termites are essentially colonial social roaches my mind was blown.

@luphuong52397 ай бұрын
fun fact: cockroaches and mantises are closely related, mantises evolved from cockroaches. If you look at the their anatomy you will realize they actually look quite similar and a mantis is sort of just an elongated roach with raptorial legs.

Once I saw a mantis flying around my kitchen ceiling light. I lifted my finger up to it to invite it to perch there. To my amazement it did. I then placed it on the kitchen counter. I saw its head turning to watch me as I moved. I slowly moved my finger in front of it from side to side and the mantis swayed from side to side like a pendulum on a metronome. That did it. I've been in love with these creatures ever since.

As someone who keeps them as pets, I've gotta add that the Devil's Flower Mantis, although it looks intimidating, gets scared easily and prefers to avoid any prey that doesn't fly, as they're specialized in catching flying prey. Also, they're pretty goofy when it comes to climbing, as they lack the necessary components on their feet, the "tarsi, that would normally allow insects to climb smooth surfaces etc.
@Crowwalker1007 ай бұрын
Use to have 6 mantises as pets when I lived in a warmer area. Very intelligent and cool critters. The large ones can and will cut you open like a knife. Not lethal but not pleasant.
@davidvento54817 ай бұрын
Absolutely!! Against my sound advice one of my childhood friends unwittingly grabbed a large female mantis. He rapidly entered the “find out” phase as the insect latched on with its forelegs and ripped into his thumb with its razor-sharp mandibles. He never made that mistake again.

Great watch! I love mantises and didn't realize how many species there are. I rarely see these guys in the wild. I finally saw one somewhat recently as the little green inch long guy, probably a baby, fell off a tree on me, just a typical mantis so I picked him up and let him walk on me and do his little swaying dance lol! Very cool to see as I probably haven't seen one in ten years or more.

The Orchid and Spiny Mantis are beautiful, hard to pick a favorite. Cleverly made to fit their environment, and tgey look so cute with their front two legs up in the air. They are truly amazing, I saw a footage on a KZbinr site, Classified Captures. Where it showed a praying mantis near a Hummingbird feeder, the mantis caught the Hummingbird with no problem. I didn't think an insect could catch and eat a bird. The pray mantis are the true Chameleon of the insect world.

personally, one of my favorite mantises was probably the lower or the orchid praying mantis because it’s so beautiful and resembles an orchid and I know that that something that a lot of people might think is a really basic pig because it’s a well-known mantis but honestly just because it’s well-known doesn’t necessarily mean that it deserves a level seven rating I think you should definitely be much more higher at least level 15 it has an impressive size and it is a pretty ruthless killer as we know it can eat a lot of wasps

The video of the mantis eating the lizard is staged. I remember watching the original video years ago, and you can clearly see in the video that someone is holding the lizard in place while the mantis chows down on it. Also, judging by how little the lizard is struggling throughout the (very slow) process, I also get the impression that it was either drugged or extremely sick. It’s sad, cruel, and completely unnatural.
