Been trying to get a hold of this one a while, very cool.
I don't know why they would call an Orchid mantis anything other than an Orchid mantis, though.

i bet that was put on.i mean what is the chances of a camara man being there just as a giant mantis walks past them chickens?
Excellent!
Thanks for sharing that with us Stuart.
I could have done without seeing several mantids get eaten but oh well...
And as for the Orchids, I doubt very seriously the narrator is up on current Mantis lingo... Based solely on rough Latin translation, Hymenopus Coronatus Mantis literally means crowned flower mantis.

Sincerely, that documentary isn't very good. Too exaggerated and launching a wrong impression of mantids.
Regarding the name for Hymenopus, it results, as often, from a translation failure: the documentary is from Austria, and one german vernicular name for Hymenopus coronatus, despite 'orchid mantis', is 'crowned mantis', which indeed is derived from the specific epitheton.

that vidoes was horrible! It kept glitching, stoping, restarting, and skipping in the most random times! It took me well over 5 minutes to watch the first 3!
But other than that it was fine!

Ya, buffering was kinda slow. xD Yes, the documentary was sooo exagerated. I guess they needed viewers...and so much info was false....they said that the pseudocreobotra in the beginning was trying to be a butterfly.... :blink: xD Dunno how that'll help keep em safe...
Good find though! Was interesting to watch...

It played flawless for me, but it does somtimes do that at peak times. Can be very very annoyingthat vidoes was horrible! It kept glitching, stoping, restarting, and skipping in the most random times! It took me well over 5 minutes to watch the first 3! But other than that it was fine!

It could be buffering, quite a lot of people use 56.com as they host films and tv shows etc. Best thing to do if it is being slow is to let it start playing, press pause and come back to it in an hour or so. Should be full buffered and play straight then.

Wow, really cool that it's in Chinese. Well, it's on a Chinese site...
