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.
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.
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.
@@thechosenone9847 Because it looked so painfullll like imagine ur just chilling and a creepy as bug thing that knows martial arts grabs you by the neck and begins to eat your lips.
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.

@Olajuwon Lagunju and what exactly do you think the mantis did afterwards, because if you think it stole it's wallet and called the morgue, then you just might be dense.
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.
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.
@@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😆
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.
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
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!
@@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.
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 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.
Y'know, I once was walkin around a park as a child when I saw a mantis. I picked it up, showed it to my dad, and he told me to put it down because it was dangerous. I didnt do that, and instead, gently stroked the mantis on its back. The mantis didnt attack me for whatever reason, but after awhile, I let it down. That was one of the most wholesome moments of my life.
I think mantids are pretty smart creatures for insects, I once held a mantis, it crawled on my back and went for my neck, but it didn’t rip and tear me like the Doomslayer, it just explored me. I wasn’t going to hurt it, and it didn’t hurt me.
@@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
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.
@@HellishSpoon I was like 4-5 years old at the time dude lol, sorry I didn’t have a degree in biology or have a decent concept of the food chain at the age most kids are starting kindergarten.
@@luciatat4084 lol they won't hurt us humans XD they can only give u a paper cut if they bite u if anything if u ever wanna touch a carnivorous bug I suggest a mantis they won't do much DMG to you if they bite u. And they have a super low chance of biting you and the most they will do and use their arms to grab your finger. The apexes of all apex bugs is the giant centipede that thing can be as long as a adult male leg this is why tarantulas and any other bug won't attack it. All bugs will retreat at the sight or any sense of presence of a giant centipede hunting. And the apex bug of the sky is the dragonfly their rival would be giant hornet but they eat most things in the air for their super fast. In fact the thing centipedes and dragonflies have super speed which gives them advantage over most prey. The praying mantis can eat a centipede if it attack c ks the right side of a centipede for if a mantis mistakens the other end of the centipede as the head it will lose. But another difference of how dangerous centipedes and tarantulas are they can have venom that can kill you. Which is why I recommend things like the mantis their very nice to us but a big threat to everything else.
@@simps1645 No, they are hard working and prefer unity If you closely watch a mantis attack, you would see 1. How they judge every movement they make......and if they make any mistake they correct themselves almost immediately 2. They calculate each and every bit of the prey before attack..... Their body weight, temperature, and their defense.... 3. They can be either the most nimble insect or increase their volume to be a big one.... To atleast scare their opponent The rest is up to you whether you think it's a yes or no
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.

I had a pet Praying Mantis growing up and she was a good little pet. She would even sit on my shoulder. Much more intelligent than people credit a bug for.
That was a brutally staged video where a human is holding the lizard in place while the mantis attacks. Normally the lizard would run away at the first sign of danger.

@SkyH23 @Joaquin Leyva if you watch the original clip its pretty obvious that the lizard is being held down by a human and probably even squizzed/hurt ; weird camera angles that never show more than half of the lizard, doesn't defend himself, doesn't try to escape or barely at any point in time.
When I was in grade 4, I found a preying mantis on an extremely windy day on the playground of the community center.

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.
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.
Huge maybe not, but it is known that insect size usually relies on oxygen level consumption. So if earth's oxygen arises by 5 or 10 percent, I can only imagine some insects growing in size of small mammals :)))
Enjoy the video friends!

**flashbacks from that episode in Rick and Morty**
Y'know, I once was walkin around a park as a child when I saw a mantis. I picked it up, showed it to my dad, and he told me to put it down because it was dangerous. I didnt do that, and instead, gently stroked the mantis on its back. The mantis didnt attack me for whatever reason, but after awhile, I let it down. That was one of the most wholesome moments of my life.
OHHHHH how sweet!
Great job lady.
You've tamed the beast!

I think mantids are pretty smart creatures for insects, I once held a mantis, it crawled on my back and went for my neck, but it didn’t rip and tear me like the Doomslayer, it just explored me. I wasn’t going to hurt it, and it didn’t hurt me.
No wonder why Mantis is a symbol of patience. Because they waited for their prey and strike fast.
Lizard: Any last words before you die?
Mantis: "nO yOu"

If you die with your balls emptied thats better than what most men can hope for.
Its actually less common than you think, it only happens if the female is starving
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
That Mantis is really enjoying that birds cloaca
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

@@luciatat4084 lol they won't hurt us humans XD they can only give u a paper cut if they bite u if anything if u ever wanna touch a carnivorous bug I suggest a mantis they won't do much DMG to you if they bite u. And they have a super low chance of biting you and the most they will do and use their arms to grab your finger. The apexes of all apex bugs is the giant centipede that thing can be as long as a adult male leg this is why tarantulas and any other bug won't attack it. All bugs will retreat at the sight or any sense of presence of a giant centipede hunting. And the apex bug of the sky is the dragonfly their rival would be giant hornet but they eat most things in the air for their super fast. In fact the thing centipedes and dragonflies have super speed which gives them advantage over most prey. The praying mantis can eat a centipede if it attack c ks the right side of a centipede for if a mantis mistakens the other end of the centipede as the head it will lose. But another difference of how dangerous centipedes and tarantulas are they can have venom that can kill you. Which is why I recommend things like the mantis their very nice to us but a big threat to everything else.

Mantis: "Yes. It. Is."

Well I think ants are much smarter mantis are just stronger as an individual.
@@edmondrayfilipino2168 Lol.....great sense of humour..... Loved ur reply
@@simps1645 No, they are hard working and prefer unity
If you closely watch a mantis attack, you would see
1. How they judge every movement they make......and if they make any mistake they correct themselves almost immediately
2. They calculate each and every bit of the prey before attack..... Their body weight, temperature, and their defense....
3. They can be either the most nimble insect or increase their volume to be a big one.... To atleast scare their opponent
The rest is up to you whether you think it's a yes or no
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.

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.
