[QUOTE="azn567, post: 253508, member: 5542"] A large amount of that footage looks to be staged. Some of the older documentaries feature prey items that are not native to the country where the mantis species depicted lives. In some old documentaries I saw the common cricket species that could be bought at any reptile store or petco being eaten by a deroplatys sp. (Malaysia). I'm pretty sure those crickets don't originate from Malaysia. One member on here was contacted before to do a mantis documentary similar to the one posted, and the footage was to be shot with somewhat realistic recreations of their natural habitat. Heck, I could have simulated a lot of those encounters with all the different animals I keep. On a side note, the majority of the mantis species shown are identifiable and most of them are in culture either in Europe or the USA. [/QUOTE]
