WATCH THIS PRAYING MANTIS DESTROY THIS MOUSE

[HERESY]

I raise mantids from ootheca (egg casses) and thought you guys might enjoy this. I feed my large females lizards (usually skinks) and never got around to feeding it a pinky (baby mouse.) This mantis DESTROYS a grown mouse. The mouse outweighs the mantis and is longer than the mantis yet it gets its ass handed to it! LMAO!

BTW if you see mantids around your house/yard or see egg cases around your yard DON'T kill them. Catch the mantis and I'll cash you out for it. I'll cash you out for egg cases also, but they can't have holes in the case (sign of paratism by a small wasp).

I NEED A TO GET SOME MANTIDS TO FEED TO MY CHAMELEON.

 

[HERESY]

^^^ How large is your chameleon? You should NEVER feed mantids to chameleons are you INSANE? The mantis should be held in high esteem and NEVER considered as lizard food. The nerve of some of you people...

Those Parsons get to grow to like 2 feet in length. I wouldn't put a mantis against an adult parsons. I would put a flower or malasyian mantis against a parsons that is 3-6 inches.

@mjg408 You have several options. You cans earch around your crib or you can purchase egg cases. You can order eggs, nymphs or adults from online or you can purchase eggs from YARDBIRDS (you can get like 2 cases for $5-7 bucks.) The egg cases I had this season did not hatch because my humidty was not correct in the room I stored them in. Some of the eggs I had came from my own brood and some of them came from pregnant females found around the crib.

I'M NOT LOOKING FOR A BATTLE, I'M LOOKING FOR A FEEDER. TONS OF CHAMELEON OWNERS RAISE MANTIDS AS FEEDERS. I PLAN TO DO THE SAME.

^ we dont get beasties like that over here.. Worse flying insect we got is prolly these big red wasp like things, wit yellow eyes.. dunno their name. had a few encounters wit em.

That's pretty weird because just yesterday I was thinking about how cool it would be to have a praying mantis. I didnt even know them fuckers are wild in Amerika, never seen one before in my life besides on TV.

The only thing we have unique in Seattle are fucking slugs. Nothing cool about a slug, except if you put salt on them

 

[mustynutz]

slugs taste better with lemon pepper then salt...i never understood why people eat them with salt...but hey


i wanna see a brown recluse battle a black widow

It goes back to when I was a little kid. My brother caught a praying mantis and he put it in a jar with EIGHT spiders at one time. The praying mantis killed five and wounded three. He went out like a champ and didnt try to escape the jar. I remember seeing the mantis crawl away to die after my brother took it out the jar and ever since then the praying mantis was my favorite animal.

If your area is hot/humid you most likely have praying mantids in your area. The problem is catching them because they blend in well with the surroundings. You can flush them out with water (water your garden/lawn/shrubs on a cool evening) or place certain types of light bulbs outside to attract insects.

damn that thing tore that mouse apart!

Dude filming it sounded kinda sick though
