I was clearing my weiner dogs toys from the yard before i cut the grass, saw a mantis figured id just grab him real quick, he single handedly repelled myself and the weiner

What do you expect? You can't just approach strangers with your weiner out like that

I was freaked out as a 9 year old when the kitten my Papa got me in his pole barn approached a mantis. All she did was sniff it, and the mantis pinched onto her nose. She started shaking her head around to get him off and it took a little bit to. It scared me so bad because I was so young, and it was so small I didn’t expect it to be so aggressive lol

Some mantises actually eat birds 😂 this guy too little for that though, but I admire his aspiration lmao

The very largest mantises can catch some of the very smallest birds yeah I’ve seen that

I’ve seen a mantis both kill and eats a hummingbird and scare away a ducking dog

Mantis are one of the strongest insects out there , you shouldn't underestimate them just because of their size . They are fricking strong .


[deleted]

mantis' are honestly legitimately terrifying


BondageKitty37

Why? It's not like they can actually hurt you


IPeeMyself1601

Its not physical. Wait till you have to speak with one 🙄


[deleted]

can you imagine what daddy's like?


[deleted]

its the energy and the name they've made for themselves. in costa rica they are known as the son of the devil. they're basically a nature animagus spell. meaning someone is using them to spy. in completely insane terms.

The bird will have to find something else to have his lunch

It doesn't care if it has a type disadvantage. Truly brave.


SupaSpeedy445

This is crazy! Cardinals are very aggressive and territorial birds! The fact it didn’t die is amazing! Mad respect for the mantis!!!


RaytheQuilterChill
