Xm! he was thinking at first if the dish was served right i think,poor butterfly.

[ZeroDragondelta9]

mmm i love chicken er... i mean butterfly wings

[brunowarlord]

The Mantis hesitated for an eternity, I thought what it should not to attack.

[danyewkill]

xD! Adorable little alien-like bugs they are. And damn fast.

[icebarrage1166]

holy shit!!!!

[WillimontG08]

What great mantid!

[theletter23]

buggies r stupid. moth just stared at if for a fucin minute. if that moth was just a little smarter tha nthe mantis mabey its unevolved brain would have recognized the mantis in only 1 minute

[lukemantis]

the moth only has two pigments in its eyes for detecting light wavelengths so it would have just thought the mantis was a leaf. this is why mantids are some of the most effective hunters in the arthropod world

[theletter23]

so you are like a mantis enthusiast huh?

[TristanIAM]

No he's just intelligent and owned you.

[theletter23]

he should have know better than to respond to that comment.

[BunnaySango]

The moth looks dead actually.

[kidd003]

wonderful colour of the mantis... natures beauty

[TheSanityInspector]

Was that butterfly chloroformed or something?

[uncball323]

WOW

[TGthatguy]

it was cruel of it to eat its wings first lol. poor moth/butterfly thing

[mylifeislikeasitcom]

that mantis studies that butterfly for a bit before he decides to eat it i wonder what he thought of it!

[jamesdehn7]

i hate waiting

[Krazy86ss]

wow, that butterfly got owned.

[houseofscandal]

Nice video. However, you may want to get in the habit of posting scientific names for the conveneience of geeks such as myself. Thanks.

[metroidhunter]

notice how the mantis starts shaken like hell when the moth or whatever shows up.

[pokeintheeyepod]

the mantis, growing tired of the stairing contest with the smart ass moth, decides instead to devour his competitor. I liked it...interesting

[3mckaya]

it's unlike the mantis to eat the wings my mantids only eat the body

[melanch0ly]

That is SO amazing.

[JohnaldChaffinch]

it goes straight from a mantis and a butterlfy to - a mantis doing a marilyn monroe impression! hahaa. ace vid. i've got a similar of my orchid mantis catchiing a damselfly . click my name to see ^ :D

[Mikusagi]

You put the butterfly there, right? The wing looks broken xD

Still cool though.

[DepecheMoses]

YES!!!!!!!!

[Munzlat]

sexy

[scien30]

....the butterfly isnt moving man.. hes either dead or paralized

[MnekoM]

Woa..the move was super fast! I can't believe how long the mantis waited and the butterfly didn't notice him!
