[QUOTE="Macano, post: 13195, member: 85"] Yea mantids can be brutal, if you are prey. Being impaled and squeezed tight by those arms, then ripped alive by the lethal jaws. Ugh, what a way to go. At least a spider or scorpion poisons the prey. Makes me glad I'm 'top of the food chain' too ;) Could you imagine a mantid the size of a cat or dog? Being aggressive as they are, I'd say a labrador sized mantid would take down an adult human!Actually, what fascinates me most about mantids is their eating habits. Fascinating to watch. They are very efficient at what they do: eat, eat, and eat some more! But don't let that video keep you from getting at least one mantid. Just feed it what won't bother you that the mantid will still like and you'll see how neat they are. [/QUOTE]
