[1337wafflezz]

That thing is so cool 

[mindoor608]

No wonder where rocky balboa got his ideas from....

[noquedaunbuennombre]

Those little legs.. they look so fragil. I would be scared to touch it , not because of simple fear, just cause it looks like it might break if you touch it.

[trikstar198]

thumbs up if you put your hands up in praying mantis style and screamed WAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! come at me bro!

[1975joev]

I encountered a mantis in my yard and it was pretty bold and brave also. Seems odd cause there's plenty of predators in nature that will eat one.

[modernfrontier]

[NotYourEggo]

I got here from gummy bears and bottle rockets..

[goldenzebrastripes]

[SAK59]

Amazing. I had no idea there were so many different kinds of matinses. (Spelling?) Do you raise them? Where do you get them, from?

[gypsydancer64]

[MisticWays]

Fascinating! There's all sorts of Mantis in this world.

[ChinaDollMaiden]

How harmful are mantises to humans?

[OverlordLS]

@ChinaDollMaiden Really big ones can scratch you pretty good. They're otherwise harmless though, and rarely aggressive. At least, to us they aren't. To another bug, this thing is a fucking T-rex.

[lonerider92]

"GO AWAY I CUT YOU!"

@MrToastOmnomnom Wrong person.

[cortwoodard]

[zombieman5110]

hes all like *we fight naow, kung fu steialz*

[downtownskaterat]

hes like " put em' up put em' up"

[moty156]

wow he can kung fu

[JenkemBOMBS]

He thinks he's so tough, little did he know his silly praying hands are no match, I could break his spaghetti leg with a mighty karate chop from my pinky.

But ya, that is a really beautiful looking insect.

[MCTheDweeb]

@JenkemBOMBS You know, proportionally, he's about a thousand times stronger than you.

If praying mantids were the size of dogs, we'd be in a world of shit.

[lovmirinda]

can it fly?

[misukiyuki]

Can they fly or are those wings just for show?

[strohmann]

@misukiyuki They can fly, since this is a male one. But the females can't, they got their wings only for show (and maybe to soften a downfall a bit)

[SoraAngel0]

@strohmann theres another thing that those wing do to make them look more tougher and scare or threaten other animals or insects

[typhosionmaster]

@strohmann I'm sorry, but when the music came on, I danced.

[regalgsme]

@strohmann do you pen them when they die?

[Noobastank2088]

It's like a combat butterfly, because of his beautiful wings. :)

[Supercrazygam3r]

is it hard to keep a prey mantis as a pet?

[strohmann]

@Supercrazygam3r some species are easy, some are hard. You got to feed them insects (flys are easiest) and keep the right temperature and moisture and surrounding.. mantisonline (dot) de shows how to keep them and specifies the difficulty (easy, medium, hard)

[1771anastasia]

does a mantis bite people??? i found one in mardon lake and im afraid to touch it.

[strohmann]

@1771anastasia : they don't bite, they try to scare you and when you continue to harass them, they will hit you with their claws (won't hurt).. so absolutely no reason to be afraid

[redsmooch989]

@strohmann poor little mantis. you stressed him out... is he okay now? i just feel bad for the little bug.

[strohmann]

@redsmooch989 he hat a long peaceful life and got very old (in fact, he saw some of his childs grow up to adulthood, which is very rare for mantids). I only stressed him for these video's , the rest of his time he was at peace and even had the chance to mate. Life in Nature might be more stressful

[xinic5]

@strohmann Wait, so you let him mate? Did he get eaten by the female? And by "he saw some of his childs grow up to adulthood" Do you simply mean he lived that long or did he really SEE his children? Because wouldn't they try to eat each other?

[strohmann]

@xinic5 I let him mate and he didn't got eaten (since this doesn't happen always). They mated free on a plant in my room, so after it he could get away from her easily. He got very old, unusually old, usually they die long before their children get adult, but he saw the first of his adult children. Seeing doesn't mean i put him together with them because the danger of getting eaten by them. I just had him on my hand and showed him his adult daughter.. 2 Weeks later he died of age...

[xXJanValentineXx]

What is the song..?

[strohmann]

@xXJanValentineXx : it's from the game "Aquaria"

[utterbeastage]

my male threat displayed at EVERYTHING when I had him

[japhyryder66]

What an amazing creature! Thanks for sharing.

[GreyKnightUK]

He's gorgeous! So delicate, but with BIG buggy eyes too.
