I think I've seen a few of those actually. I kind of wonder what all insects the mantises defeated. I can't remember much about those videos, aside from some of them being really boring.
Yeah, that's kids for ya. Lost quite a few animals myself as a youngster due to ignorance. Never fought mantises, but me, and my friends fought our bettas once, or twice. There weren't any fatalities though.
They do have mantids quite frequently in Japanese manga, and anime. They're definitely much more popular in Asia.
I'll actually check this moneebebo episode out here in a sec. I do enjoy the anime occasionally. Hopefully it's not an abomination. ^_^
Agent A don't worry about correcting me. I'm a novice for starters, and you were right.
I'm guessing most of us who use this forum find it very difficult not to correct others when they're wrong. At least when it comes to our creatures.
