 Why? It’s nature. It’s not like they caused this event to happen, and whether or not they were filming it has no bearing on the fact that it was going to happen. It happens every day.

I don’t think it’s cruel, I think there’s a respect you can glean from nature over this encounter, how everything in nature fits together to make moments like these where an insect can pull a flighty bird like a hummingbird from thin air and start snacking on it.

Do I like what happened? No. Do I have respect for what’s taken place? Yes. It’s morbid and a little disturbing but it’s nature. 
 @owl. @Xuya @Boomerman @Meat_Mom @Graf von Tripp @Xeraser 🇮🇹 (moved to @xeraser@varishangout.n... @BunnygirlAbductor @Christmas Man i like how they freaked out but then had to admit it was cool, because yes that was pretty cool to watch. 
 How many years passed by before the praying mantis was able to even do something like that? Marvelous. 
 Insects would completely destroy everything if they got bigger 
 Giant mantis would be pretty fucking sick ngl.

Invisible boy

jewish writers everyone 
 @owl. @Xuya @Boomerman @Meat_Mom @ea1be75f @Graf von Tripp @Xeraser 🇮🇹 (moved to @xeraser@varishangout.n... @BunnygirlAbductor @Christmas Man also the mantis doesn't ambush or anything, just stabs with its legs like that thing from Attack of the Clones. lame, but the model looks cool. 
 Im probably being stupid here but how would invisibility stop him from making sound? 
 Because nobody can see you so that means nobody can hear you either 
 Have you ever played peekaboo 
 No, this is science. Even every little child knows that if you can't see them, you can't hear them either.

 The kamen rider episode with the mantis man was genuinely creepy 
 @BunnygirlAbductor @Xuya @Boomerman @Meat_Mom @owl. @ea1be75f @Graf von Tripp @Xeraser 🇮🇹 (moved to @xeraser@varishangout.n... @Christmas Man haven't seen that but there was a mantis mutant in Kamen Rider Black which i thought looked excellent, had a fantastic fight scene as well.

here, a fresh clip straight off the presses. this is genuinely my favorite fight so far in the show, might even be an all-timer unless the finale tops it. i do lol at their attempt at having the mantis open the cell door at the start.
