Oh yes their immense intelligence. I got injured once while rock climbing and, luckily, some mantises found me and took me to one of their hospitals where they administered liquids, performed an MRI scan, treated me and set my ankle. I didn't have the proper insurance coverage but they were nice about out and discharged me anyway.
Praying Mantises are wonderful insects. We have had pet ones for nearly a year since we found one on our front door. They are extremely curious, not scared of humans, and pretty much harmless (one of them did try to attack me when I hadn't fed it enough but it was more cute than anything else) so much that my wife and daughters really are happy to have them wander around on their hands and arms.
@@RealG.Washington yeah. It is sort of cute when they do it. I was trying to coax one out so I could clean the container and it didn't want to come out. Ended up picking it up gently, which it didn't like, and it stuck it's raptorial claws into my thumb. Didn't hurt, but was slightly troublesome as it didn't want to let go.
I’ve lived in the country my entire life and have held many praying mantis and this just blew my doors off. I absolutely had no idea these little buggers were so aggressive, catches a hummingbird,lizard,frog,snake WTF!! Thank you for this unbelievable great video.
When I was a kid, every spring I would search the fields and hillsides around my house for a mantis to keep as a seasonal pet. I would always release them in the fall. I thought they were so cool. Every day after school I’d toss my book bag in the house and run outside to hunt for grass hoppers to feed my Mantis. Great memories.
I caught a giant, green preying mantis when I worked night shift at a gas station when I was younger, so I can tell you for an absolute fact that they are vicious killers that I am thankful do not get much bigger. I kept it in a terrarium for over a year. I fed it all kinds of interesting prey. They will always attempt to kill and eat anything. Very cool, yet frightening pet.
I have dozens of them living around my house every summer. I leave them water and they destroy our common enemy the wasps, hornets, and random spiders. Pretty slick deal in my opinion, every now and again I have to get photos cause they look cool to me.
I just found a small mantis in the wild (a very young one) and decided to put it in an enclosure, I dropped in 3 small grass hoppers and after about 2 hours, when the mantis got comfortable in it's new environment, sitting on the stick that I left in, it patiently waited for a grass hopper to get near her and she snatched the life out of it. I've decided to keep this mantis and help her to her adulthood.
EXCUSE ME but did I just witness a praying mantis break a lizards neck.....A LIZARD (Edit) HOLY CRAP I never thought I would get 12k likes on a comment before it never crossed my mind, thanks everyone
I don't think it broke it's neck. Their arms are equipped to hold them down while their prey can pretty much do nothing. Imagine getting caught in a full nelson hold almost anyone can do it and it's very hard to get out of in most cases. Now imagine yourself getting the back of your neck getting bit by someone while you're in that head lock. It got caught again in another angle that left it's neck exposed and since it's Jugular vein is right there...well you can figure out the rest.
Great educational and entertaining video. My son's first mantis "bonded" to him. Sometimes while sitting on his shoulder, she would pet (as in stroking) his cheek. There's an intelligence in that formidable alien-headed insect. Beautiful creature though.
i was smoking near a store and a praying mantis saw me. it was doing a little dance (moving side to side), and i figured it saw me as a threat or something. so i started mimicking it's dance, which fascinated the mantis so much it ran closer to me, like we became friends. so we both just did our little dance until my cig was out then i left. it was a strange event, but i danced with a praying mantis, so it was cool.
Grabbed a mantis a few months ago and made a terrarium for him and was a lot of fun feeding. Taught my 8 yr old a lot. I never noticed them but now I seem them around all the time.
@@bigbrother7952 i also remember watching a documentary on that. In the past, when O2 level was higher, insects used to be gigantic. Maybe humans will shrink in the next millenia😆
@@funnycrab5684 actually mice don’t have hair on their tails ether. But their significantly smaller then rats with only a handful of exceptions in the wild.
In my area, the east coast of the US, I would say that Mantises here tolerate Humans. If I see one, I'll just walk up to it and pick it up. I've never had one bite, get defensive, or make themselves look big to scare me away. I can just put one on my shoulder and it'll just chill there. So, although not afraid or at least showing "fear", they seem to just tolerate Human behavior if we engauge. I'm sure they are at least smart enough to know that neither of us prey on each other.

@@ghostwithatie749 You are partly correct. The hummingbird has the fastest wingbeat in the world. When it comes to speed though the peregrine falcon is the fastest bird.
Mantises are similar to Tarantulas . But only female has the strength to take down Mouses , Lizards , Snakes , Frogs , Small Birds ( such as Humming Bird ) and eat it. Because female is 3x larger and bigger than male.
My yard is full of them in the summer and I love them... Simply a beautiful bug they set up and will watch you walk by, hell they even let you hold them but command respect so in other words not too long lol.
This video made me remember that not everybody is an empath. It was hard for me to watch the lizard get bit alive but apparently for some it was like nothing.
When I was a kid I had a praying mantis and I was holding it wrong and I’ll be damned if the SOB didn’t start chewing right into my finger. It actually drew blood and it hurt like hell. Ever since then I’ve had great respect for them. They are badass critters designed to inflict damage in order for their own survival.
Didn't tell about the most fascinating feature of the Mantis Shrimp. It's strike is so fast it actually creates a light when attacking. You could say it is Lightening Fast.
Whenever people create a deadly, insectoid alien race in Sci-Fi, there's a DAMN good reason why they're always based on Mantises. God they're so terrifying.
@@annannanan3024 They usually can't molt as fast as wounds heal. Also, exoskeletons are more easily damaged by brute force. But hey, they're fast. Unless of course, they're giant versions of normal bugs.
It's funny to think about how a Mantis is a veritable killing machine, but when it comes to Human's, they're pretty chill. Held one once when I was a kid. It made direct eye contact with me during that time and just sat where it was in my hand. When I tried to put it back in the grass it didn't want to leave my hand though. Clung to me with its legs like its life depended on it. XD
@@skullkruncher6144 I tend to bring up the fact that a decent chunk of predators eat their prey while its still alive when I get hit with the "jUsT bECaUse wE KiLL tHeM qUickLy dOeSn'T maKE It HuMaNE!!!" Like my guy have you seen how other animals treat their prey items? By comparison our slaughter houses for farm animals seem pretty darn humane.
@@captiancholera8459 It's not the quick killing that's inhumane, slaughter houses typically have bad conditions for animals such as cramped living spaces. Also slaughterhouses dispose of wastewater, which is filled with blood, and oil from machinery, which contaminates drinking water and destroys aquatic ecosystems.
@@seagrass9766 I had failed to consider that, at this point I’m just tired of hearing “killing animals is inhumane” as the only issue when in nature it’s a lot more brutal. But you make an excellent point.
As a small kid we were always told not to play with praying mantis because they'd get into our noses and we'd have to go to surgery before they ate our brains. This terrified us as kids and we'd let them be. If I watched this video when I was small... I'd probably be paranoid but now, it has sparked fascination and great respect for them
My son recently bought an orchid mantis nymph from a breeder. Initially, I was worried about the little guy not being able to eat larger insects or being harmed by them. Now, after watching this, I worry about my fifteen year old son's head!!
@@thefunnycat9989 Thanks. It was a she, by the way. We had named her Flora, after the Haunting of Bly Manor character. Hope she is enjoying her mate's head in heaven!
It's amazing that something that small could cause that much damage. I mean the animal just catches prey and just starts eating. They have no problem. Someone tested them against SPLF. Now If they could drop a large amount of them in parks and forests where SPLF might flourish they might be able to keep the numbers down without pesticides. The downside is effecting other insects. Thing is up here there are mantis but you don't see them in large amounts. If you see one it's a lucky find.
@@sync9072 at first I was amazed that it was fighting back when I was just faking an attack, it was raising its arms and all. And then all of a sudden it sprinted towards me. As a kid, I was scared for my life. and also because I knew that it bites
I felt crawling sensation on my legs and goosebumps throughout this god dang video! And trust me when I say I am not scared easily, not even when I am watching horror movies! This little creature is an absolute monster!!!😱😱😱
Thank you for this info. Not too long ago I was outside and a Mantis comes out of left field and smashes me in the side of the head. I now know I survived a life and death situation 🫥
When I was in grade 4, I found a preying mantis on an extremely windy day on the playground of the community center. I didn't feel it belonged in the playground and gently got it to crawl on my bare hand. I used my free hand to block the wind as best I could and it held onto my finger with it's claws. I got it safely to a field of long grass and let it go. Never even tried to hurt me. Will never forget that encounter.
I've done the same they are pretty gentle but it probably has something to do with the fact that insects don't see our whole body it probably precieved you as a big stick or platform to crawl on which is why you can have spiders crawl on your hand and just keep looping your hands over and over again
I had a praying mantis as a pet once. About the size of 1 joint of a index finger. I kept it in a container on top of my Chinchilla cage. A few weeks later, my Mantis died cos my chinchilla escaped frm the cage and pushed the container down on the floor, and the stuff inside crushed the mantis

I moved here in Arkansas in 1978, and it's been a source of wonderment ever since I've been here when it comes to the insect and reptile world, most the insects that I where I came from are here and then some and only bigger, I'm many occasions I have seen praying mantises up to a footlong that's right 12 in and better but not by much, and there are the most light chartreuse green that I have ever seen and yes I hate bugs, but living here you got to watch him because if you don't it's only to your detriment because most everything around here can bite you, scratch you, kick you, or sometimes kill you, because Arkansas has its fair share of big fauna, especially in the Ozarks Newton county especially wild, I've looked at a lot of country and other parts of the world never have I found a place that I'd rather be but one New Zealand is a lot like the Ozarks.
That was an impressive jiu-jitsu move the mantis did on the lizard’s jaw… followed by an act I wish I could unsee, like something out of Silence of the Lambs 🫣
Years ago I had a wasp problem around my porch till a Mantis showed up and cleared out the hive. Winter came and as a thank you I let it live on my living room drapes I fed it Popeyes chicken and Spaghetti O's till spring came.
This is a lesson I learned at a very young age, I had 2 small lizards in a cage and one day my dad found a praying mantis and figured the lizards would kill and eat the mantis so he stuck it in their cage. The next day I found both the lizards cute in half with their body’s hollowed out. Mantises are disturbing.

When I was a kid I had a praying mantis and I was holding it wrong and I’ll be damned if the SOB didn’t start chewing right into my finger. It actually drew blood and it hurt like hell. Ever since then I’ve had great respect for them. They are badass critters designed to inflict damage in order for their own survival.

Didn't tell about the most fascinating feature of the Mantis Shrimp. It's strike is so fast it actually creates a light when attacking. You could say it is Lightening Fast.
Great video, those Mantses are super.
The scary thing is: they don't even have venom or anything. _They just eat their prey alive; just as they caught it_

Who needs venom when you have pure claw grip strength.
Whenever people create a deadly, insectoid alien race in Sci-Fi, there's a DAMN good reason why they're always based on Mantises.
God they're so terrifying.
Well, at least exoskeletons are literally impossible to heal...
Regenerative skin for the win.
@@danielawesome36 thats not true, insects with exoskeleton are known to molt it every months or when its damaged
@@annannanan3024 They usually can't molt as fast as wounds heal. Also, exoskeletons are more easily damaged by brute force.
But hey, they're fast. Unless of course, they're giant versions of normal bugs.
@Xen Glaris oh man,prepare exterminatus
Yes
Mantises make great pets. I've had many of them.
It's funny to think about how a Mantis is a veritable killing machine, but when it comes to Human's, they're pretty chill. Held one once when I was a kid. It made direct eye contact with me during that time and just sat where it was in my hand. When I tried to put it back in the grass it didn't want to leave my hand though. Clung to me with its legs like its life depended on it. XD
Angel: Should we add venom to this creature?
God: It's fine

@Haduj Learsi I have a deep deeeeep fear of goats. They are demons!!!!
what freaks me out so much about the mantis is that it just starts devouring its prey without killing them first. the prey just gets eaten to death
It’s normal actually, a lot of animals do that.
@@skullkruncher6144 I tend to bring up the fact that a decent chunk of predators eat their prey while its still alive when I get hit with the "jUsT bECaUse wE KiLL tHeM qUickLy dOeSn'T maKE It HuMaNE!!!" Like my guy have you seen how other animals treat their prey items? By comparison our slaughter houses for farm animals seem pretty darn humane.
@@captiancholera8459 It's not the quick killing that's inhumane, slaughter houses typically have bad conditions for animals such as cramped living spaces. Also slaughterhouses dispose of wastewater, which is filled with blood, and oil from machinery, which contaminates drinking water and destroys aquatic ecosystems.
@@seagrass9766 I had failed to consider that, at this point I’m just tired of hearing “killing animals is inhumane” as the only issue when in nature it’s a lot more brutal. But you make an excellent point.
Erm, it even eating it male mate alive...
As a small kid we were always told not to play with praying mantis because they'd get into our noses and we'd have to go to surgery before they ate our brains. This terrified us as kids and we'd let them be. If I watched this video when I was small... I'd probably be paranoid but now, it has sparked fascination and great respect for them
You ever thought about just plugging your nose first?
Wow, so thin, small and delicate looking, but so deadly for their size! I would not have thought them so strong.
Imagine mantises were about the size of dogs, they would kill humans too!
😨This is now my greatest fear. I’m already scared of them and always imagine being locked in a cage with thousands of them.
Lol... that was going to drive them to extinction... But yeah they don't give a shit...
So basically fallout.
Fuck bro. They would be on top of the food chain

Mantis has perfect perspective. You can't beat it. Every move you make in reaction to it has kready been calculated to make it your last.
Imagine a 6-foot long mantis existing in real life. Scariest breed in the world.
we humans would hunt them into extinction real quick we are the real apex predators
My son recently bought an orchid mantis nymph from a breeder. Initially, I was worried about the little guy not being able to eat larger insects or being harmed by them. Now, after watching this, I worry about my fifteen year old son's head!!
Hahaha!
Sadly, the little warrior died due to a mismolt! We buried him in our backyard yesterday, with full honors.

Like a true simp.
Hey that's a great idea! Love it ;)
Sigh... Don't we all just a little?
If you die with your balls emptied thats better than what most men can hope for.
It's amazing that something that small could cause that much damage. I mean the animal just catches prey and just starts eating. They have no problem. Someone tested them against SPLF. Now If they could drop a large amount of them in parks and forests where SPLF might flourish they might be able to keep the numbers down without pesticides. The downside is effecting other insects. Thing is up here there are mantis but you don't see them in large amounts. If you see one it's a lucky find.
The most fearless Insert ever to live🙌🙌🙌..when I grow up I want to be a mantis
Mantis: "Call the ambulance, call the ambulance. But not for me"
Mantis: Call an ambulance, but not for them. I wish to eat it.
Hello

Forget the ambulance. Call the hearse
I wasn't surprised that a mantis fought against a cat. One mantis once tried to fight back against me as a kid and I was terrified of them since then.
Lmaoooooo
Really? It attached you?
@@sync9072 at first I was amazed that it was fighting back when I was just faking an attack, it was raising its arms and all. And then all of a sudden it sprinted towards me. As a kid, I was scared for my life.
and also because I knew that it bites
I killed one by stomping on it multiple times I thought it was a cricket
I actually fw them
I felt crawling sensation on my legs and goosebumps throughout this god dang video! And trust me when I say I am not scared easily, not even when I am watching horror movies! This little creature is an absolute monster!!!😱😱😱
Thank you for this info. Not too long ago I was outside and a Mantis comes out of left field and smashes me in the side of the head. I now know I survived a life and death situation 🫥
Ah yes, the Praying Mantis. Nature's "Get at me Bro" ☠️
When I was in grade 4, I found a preying mantis on an extremely windy day on the playground of the community center. I didn't feel it belonged in the playground and gently got it to crawl on my bare hand. I used my free hand to block the wind as best I could and it held onto my finger with it's claws. I got it safely to a field of long grass and let it go. Never even tried to hurt me. Will never forget that encounter.
I've done the same they are pretty gentle but it probably has something to do with the fact that insects don't see our whole body it probably precieved you as a big stick or platform to crawl on which is why you can have spiders crawl on your hand and just keep looping your hands over and over again
@Darren Hoesan I killed one. It was an encounter I will never forget.
I had a praying mantis as a pet once. About the size of 1 joint of a index finger. I kept it in a container on top of my Chinchilla cage. A few weeks later, my Mantis died cos my chinchilla escaped frm the cage and pushed the container down on the floor, and the stuff inside crushed the mantis
I’m so glad it didn’t rip it apart
I stepped on one. It was just standing there, menacingly.

I moved here in Arkansas in 1978, and it's been a source of wonderment ever since I've been here when it comes to the insect and reptile world, most the insects that I where I came from are here and then some and only bigger, I'm many occasions I have seen praying mantises up to a footlong that's right 12 in and better but not by much, and there are the most light chartreuse green that I have ever seen and yes I hate bugs, but living here you got to watch him because if you don't it's only to your detriment because most everything around here can bite you, scratch you, kick you, or sometimes kill you, because Arkansas has its fair share of big fauna, especially in the Ozarks Newton county especially wild, I've looked at a lot of country and other parts of the world never have I found a place that I'd rather be but one New Zealand is a lot like the Ozarks.
Lizard: TRIES TO EAT MANTIS
Also lizard: ITS JUST A PRANK BRO RELAX DUDE
Lizard: LOOK OKAY?! GARY IS ON THE CAMERA YOU DON'T NEED TO HURT ME CHILL DUDE.
When it hit its gums I cringed like owww
Aha! A schrödingers douchebag
The death of the lizard in 0:40 was staged, it was been drugged
That was so awful to watch
That was an impressive jiu-jitsu move the mantis did on the lizard’s jaw… followed by an act I wish I could unsee, like something out of Silence of the Lambs 🫣
I actually was interested in this whole video 😂 glad this popped up

Love to see a Mantis try to get a Mantis Shrimp. You didn't mention how the Mantis Shrimp strikes so hard that they actually create light.
yeah the mantis is the most well rounded hunter on land and my personal favorite insect.
This is a lesson I learned at a very young age, I had 2 small lizards in a cage and one day my dad found a praying mantis and figured the lizards would kill and eat the mantis so he stuck it in their cage. The next day I found both the lizards cute in half with their body’s hollowed out. Mantises are disturbing.
I'm very sorry for your loss. That would've terrified me as a kid.
OH GOD
Jesus. That’s badass though!
this is what you get when you don't study about whats okay and not okay to feed to your animal
