wow must be pretty cool to see one in person!!!!!! well unless you see one everyday. if i saw one everyday i would move away and probably kill it. i hate bugs
About 35 years ago, I had a next door neighbor who had a pet praying mantis. After it died, she kept it and positioned it on her living room curtain....really!
I happen to find praying mantis' to be UBER CREEPY!!! However, the one in the video was not live and could not stare me down in its creepy alien way so I was okay watching the vid. In real life, I can't cross their path. They stare at me and try to hypnotize me, I swear it!
wow you guys. nalts is a great dad and is enjoying spending time with his kids... it's GOOD to be immature sometimes because you are not taking life too seriously, you're just living in the moment. so just lighten the fuck up and don't watch someone's video if you are only going to make unpleasant comments about that person.
my mom found about five of them all huddled together one time, and she wanted me to smash them all. i told her hell no, and proceeded to put one in each of her room in her house. about a week later, she noticed there were hardly any insects in her house lol. made her think twice. now every time she sees one she picks it up and puts it in her house.
I went to Starbucks with a friend once, and I freaked out cuz the mantis was on my (empty) coffee cup. I put him in there, took him home and put him in a dill pickle jar. My friend was like "We should name him Dill. He is in a Dill pickle jar, right? " But, we named him Manny. Funny part is, we live in South Dakota. He must have come here when someone came here from Texas or something.
when i was eight during the summer, i found a parying mantis outside and i kept him in a jar for three weeks. it grew up to ten inches long! i named it Gary (yes, like the snail) and i fed it crickets from my yard that i caught. it was so much fun! it is such a fond memory! thanks for posting this video and halping me remember such a fun time in my life!
You can buy eggs sacks of them at garden shops. When mine hatched there were thousands of them and they were HOT PINK, tiny little buggers. Most do not survive, the rest usually don't stay in the area. But a few weeks later they will start to pop up here and there. You have to be patient waiting for them to hatch, as they will not hatch until the weather goes above about 95 degrees or more. They're great for controlling garden bugs that ruin veggies and fruit.
Dam u guys r nuts.. If i seen a bug that big id faint, i dont care if it bites or not... Arent those bugs on the endangered list?? Dam know im gonna feel bugs walking on me all night.. Lol

Sorry for the double post, but here is a quick video suggestion. You can have farting contest with your family (of course real ones).
your whole family can participate in the contest, maybe you and the kids can eat beans or chili for one of the meals and make the contest video.
