  • what is the yellow water.blood?

  • blood and eggs, i presume.

  • that's harsh. u should leave these two in their normal situations, see who eats who.

  • hi, thx for watching.

    undoubtly u must be a pretty sympathetic kind person.

    and i respect ur good opinion, sincerely.

    but before jumping to a judgmental conclusion, let me tell u some points cuz similar comments have accumulated here.

    1. spiders are also on the menu of praying mantis in the wild.

    u can find lots of photo proofs by google image searching.

  • 2. this mantis was my pet for some time and she had to eat live preys every day.

    she was the protagonist in this footage, which showed her fantastic hunting behaviour.

    of course, this "fight" was not fair at all.

    and i love spiders, too, as u can see in my vid collection.

  • 3. i have posted several other vid clips of mantis capturing various insects such as cricket, moth, and even other mantis.

    i guess u have not watched them all.

    on this particular night, i happen to feed her a spider.

    i find it very interesting to notice that only those vids of her feeding on spiders attract so many viewers in the world and make some of u very upset.

    plz check out the playlist "my videos - praying mantis" in my channel.

    i observed her mate, lay eggs, die, and her babies hatch.

  • I have more respect for the Mantis than the spider in general. The Mantis is a very smart and cunning hunter "control the center to eat the head" its stance and movment has been studied by many in the martial arts world. In the wild this spider would never see the mantis before it was too late. In the wild the mantis rarelly loses a fight.

  • btw he squashed spiders the moment he captured it. has to be strong grasp

see all
