man i was sitting in my backyard one day when I felt a mantis running up my arm. Of course my natural instinct was to swat by "wiping" my arm to my surprise that motherfucker jump gracefully, perfectly over my hand and up my arm again. I was amazed lol.
National Geographic Narrator: "The Mantis is in striking position, absolutely still as to keep his presence unknown to his quarry. The Mantis straightens, poised and ready..... he strikes! Oooh and the dumb motherfucker tripped.."
id always see videos of bugs attacking each when i was little and they always get so damn close before they strike....i be like how the fuck does it not know???
@iMaesTroLLz Nope, but my favorite insect is still the black widow, cuz scorpions are more common than praying mantis, and black widows can take down a scrpion, and is also fast enuf to go coward on a mantis.
Here's how it all began!..... Praying Mantis goes out to a bar.. Mantis-Aghhhh sooo drunk....Ooohhh a spider...Im gonna catch it.... Spider-Lalala taking a nice stroll! Mantis-Here i come*HICCUP!!!* Spider-What the-Aw crap... Mantis-GOTCHA!... *Mantis trips but still holds spider* Spider-Haha!You tripped! Mantis-Shut up..Nom nom nom nom End!
hey guys, anyone of you noticed that you dont see these critters as much as you used to? I could remember seing plenty when i was much young, like 10 years ago , but i haven see one since... :(
That's not a trip by the Mantis. Jumping spiders will do this also. More likely they don't quite have their prey the way they want it, so they flip to keep it from turning on them by getting the prey's legs off the floor. This would keep the prey from being able to use its legs against the surface it is sitting on to counter attack, especially in this case, because the spider has fangs filled with venom.
@stanssoapbox Believe it or not, the mantis actually did mean to do that. It's not a trip, she did that so the spider wouldn't have a chance to turn on her and fang her.
"Immm gonna get cha.......*sneaks in slowly*....Im gonna gett chaaaa...*Sneaks in A bit more" Im gonna get ch.....ohh ohh noo!nooo...*falls on back*.....*gets up* Ive got cha!."
I saved a mantis today from a bunch of stick wielding thugs. She let me know I grabbed her a little too hard-- tried to take a chunk out of my finger then flew off.
