    2:26 The spider legit looks up at the threat looming up ahead. Contemplating whether this mantis is worth the trouble or not. God, I love that. It's so subtle that when I first watched this I had no idea there might be something bigger to worry about.

      It's crazy how it doesn't dawn on your at the time that the spider follows this thing, almost blatantly. For it to suddenly have a change of heart seems odd over a Kung fu stance when the spider has superior eye-sight. Then, it hits you. 'Oh, it saw that big MFer behind the orange one'.

      Maybe he is, but the smaller mantis were very talented and the orchid mantis know that once its student surpassed him, the student will slay its sensei so he will be the strongest. Luckily, the orchid mantis saw this day coming, it only taught the student 98 of its secret deadly technique, and reserved the last one for its student.

    This is one of my favorite pieces of film, storytelling, and art ever. I'm not even kidding. I watch it often and send it to people all the time. It captures the spirit of this amazing being wonderfully, both why I adore them and why they are so deliciously scary--but I repeat myself. If you are here because you're considering keeping one as a pet, do it. It's been incredibly rewarding in so many ways, and if you're an eighties kid who still wants a friend that's an alien-faery-centaur-interdimensional oddity, THIS. You have arrived at your destination.

      @@WanderingLoner1 Maybe the spider and the orange baby Mantis were playing a game of tag, the spider was it and chasing him but he saw the white Mantis and was trying to tell his friend to chase after him, but the baby Mantis got mad because he thought the spider was trying to cheat out of being "it." Then he mistook the white mantis for his mommy and his mommy ate him LOL

      That was predictable, see how the big mantis was getting ready to grab the little one, just like a spiraling snake who contracts its mussels before the final blow
