    This has to be my favourite video yet. I was even getting excited watching the mantis stalking it's prey.

    Yes I like it when you let her hunt, more natural and interesting to me, makes a good video

    • @ahickin
      @ahickin  Před 5 lety

      trouble maker It’s better doing it that way i understand what you mean. But it’s difficult trying to record clear footage has the mantis is chasing its food and u’ve got to watch the reflection from the glass or plastic from your enclosure. Running a youtube channel isn’t easy lol

    I think you might be the only yt I know how gets virtually no dislikes on their video's, and for good reason nice video👍

    • @syndan9245
      @syndan9245 Před 7 lety

      galaxies rage yah.. its because he doesn't film the animals actually eating the whole thing... for some reason there are people that click the video and then are disgusted to see an animal get killed.... ugh...... it's freaking nature.. get over yourselves

    • @agrogames7802
      @agrogames7802 Před 7 lety

      Syndan yea I don't like watching them get eaten alive but like you said it's nature and animals don't have a concept of cruelty so what can they do to stop it.

    • @twonumber22
      @twonumber22 Před 6 lety

      I'm not a disliker but animals other than ourselves have been observed in altruistic behavior so it's not a big leap to cruelty, if a leap at all.

    How they stalk and hunt their prey is creepy yet fascinating.

  • @williamstoneman6977
    @williamstoneman6977 Před 7 lety

    Beautiful mantis, they best part of feeding is watching them lock on to the prey. My mantises refuse to take food from me so it is kinda nerve racking whether they will eat or not.

  • @Waaks
    @Waaks Před 4 lety

    that ain't big, its large. I just stumbled across one in western Queensland at 4 inches and apparently they get way bigger in the rainforest in northern Queensland

  • @christophertadeo6120
    @christophertadeo6120 Před rokem

    So what am i afraid of... Mostly clowns. And this, a hideous mantis... 😱.. No really some people are afraid of it, but just won't admit it.. It's those pincers! 😨

  • @BartzabelAlgol
    @BartzabelAlgol Před 7 lety +1

    That roach appears to be covered in mites or some sort of bugs, can that endanger her health?, if so I would reconsider your roach connect.

    Those white objects all over this cockroach is parasite mites.All insects carry them,once the host is dead they fall off to find another host to feed on.

  • @mugruncher7843
    @mugruncher7843 Před 6 lety

    What would you suggest for a good starter bug? I have been thinking about getting something easy so I can see if I'm going to kill it or not XD prefer it to not be too expensive either

    • @thedjindrummer1721
      @thedjindrummer1721 Před 5 lety +1

      He's a butcher on CZcams sounds exactly like you lol, I am guessing you both live in the same area. He has a channel called the Scott Rea Project. Btw you have a beautiful Mantis, I also own a mantis but mine is an African lined mantis (sphodromantis Lineola)

    • @ahickin

    • @bobertsinghja6745
      @bobertsinghja6745 Před 7 lety

      Dino Josh343 breeding is an extreme challenge especially for carnivorous bugs. The setting (lellellel) has to be right and the female has to not eat the male :/
      It's more dangerous in captivity because the male had nowhere to go and escape, they have to be watched carefully to make sure it goes right.
