[ilovemoviessssss]

it's my first time feeling sorry for a cockroach. and that praying mantis must've been hungry! i was interested in watching a praying mantis vs cockroach video though, so thanks for a good video :D

[Shawnbfromsd]

Aren't we all glad mantids are small? O.O I know I am...

[JoeCapricorn]

Mantis might be an African mantis of genus Sphodromantis, unless this was caught wild.

Could be a Stagmomantis, but the wings look a bit too long (in females they don't extend past the abdomen) - if this mantis was caught in the wild (and your location is eastern/south east United States) this species is possible.

Definitely not a Chinese mantis, the white oval "eyespot" on the wings isn't on Chinese mantises, but are on Sphodromantis and Stagmomantis, and Hierodula and Rhombodera...

Mantis: The Chuck Norris of bugs(Strong and resilient)

Cockroach: The hobo of bugs(weak yet resilient)

[JaguarRVP]

Roaches give me the chills!

[IchiJewSan]

[turmoilrevolution286]

GO MANTIS!!! :D

[shadowhunter144]

That's friggin crazy! He ate the damn thing while it was still alive!

[powertheteam]

aparantly roaches can survive nukes but not mantises

[LUGNUT1995]

is it normal for them hang upside down.

[xXHardc0rExFaNXx1]

and i thought praying mantis's were gay! lol

[Killerspider762]

That was insane!!! How can the mantis hold the roach up so long? Its like doing an upside down bicep curl with a weight as heavy as you are..... Anyway, that was so fucking bad ass Im gunna try and get me another mantis

[TheFiveoIce]

this is a bad time for a cockroach to survive without its head on.

[slayn3488]

MANTIS IS THE BEST INSECT IN THE WORLD

[17CTopher]

The mantis is the ninja of the insect world.

[mysterymediacorp]

eating a roach is bad taste,even for an insect !

[1771anastasia]

[uidiot08]

Huge ass Roach!

[falconeyedive]

Roach: well, looks like we're roomies now^^....say, whats for dinner?

Mantis: *smile*

[fruitytuttiluigi]

I find it strange that a mantis is eating a cockroach, considering that theyre genetically related. Its like a Gorilla eating a monkey

[urchaosgamer]

[krickythecricket]

praying roach vs hissing mantis

[tmrocketryan]

a true life lesson. brought to you by praying mantis mantis cannibalism. idk wtf i mean by that but whatevah. cannibalism scares me 0_0 BYE!

[MYTMIC]

Sh-t!!! Mantis goes right for the neck, this creature is deadly, sheesh

[LAQueja]

the only reason the roach got caught is becaue the mantis went hangman on its ass

[fungwan2006]

The much-hated roach didn't even fight. It was more like struggling to get away, while the mantis kept stalking and hunting it. Dumbass cockroach !!!

[alfok]

that was a giant cockroach

[marid9000]

carry on mantis lol

[AnotherSchmoe]

Wow that was brutal! Interesting video, thanks for posting it.

[migitcommando]

[TheEhs22000]

[ambucias]

[Armoredsaint2000]

Slow death!

[ScinoBasher]

Your mantis is brutal man!

[liveman2k]

[wetmackeral]

BTW- as a note, the mantis is a species called a Twig mantis. Famous for um... looking impeccably like a um... twig?

Only Madagascan hissing roaches hiss...

[morton1235]

[karrilla]

Nope, it's a real one! Tom keeps them as pets too, but has too many now, and Schalla's got to eat something! : P

[bodaciousbryson]
