mantids in the movies

[worldofmantis]

I am making this topic to see how many movies have modeled there monster ect off of mantids. I think MAYBE that the movie aliens or avp the aliens were ghost mantids

also this add is about paintball for no reason at all except i like paintball

How about preditors head is moddled after a praying mantis?

 

[worldofmantis]

yea theres alot of movies predator could be one i diddnt really get a good look at his head

 

[Sheldon Johnson]

predator IS one. It is a fact that the predator head design was based on a praing mantis - thus the triangular shaped head and the mantis like mandibles.

good of corse the killer mantis movie is one

 

[ellroy]

I always thought the Predator was based on a scorpion face?

God hes one ugly mother...

 

[PseudoDave]

Na he's cute, i'd keep one. Breed them, get an albino or something...

 

[ellroy]

Yeah I think you may be onto something there Dave.....we could selectively breed minature ones then make them fight ghost mantids!

[SIZE=8pt]No animals, real or imagined were harmed during the creation of this vision ......the result of an overactive and understimulated imagination![/SIZE]
