i didn't even see the mantis until it moved holly damn xD

@Noodles37UK 9 лет назад

Red Fox Why do all mantids die so young, damn.

@redmoonexoticsmantisdude1091 8 лет назад

+Noodles37UK because they are seasonally productive organisms

@Noodles37UK 8 лет назад

Yeah but you and i have both owned them. I've owned several mantids, but no Orchids. You can clearly see the exceptional qualities these little aliens have. Some one i knew described them as the eagles and hawks of the insect hiearchy. Insect royalty. To give each individual just 12 or 14 months is a shame. And they die just suddenly over a period of, a week, i'd say. They stop eating, then make their way to the bottom of the tank to die.

@redmoonexoticsmantisdude1091 8 лет назад

+Noodles37UK yes I own 4 orchids they're beautiful however orchid mantids only live around 8-12 months.

@Noodles37UK 8 лет назад

MantisDude101 They are said to be difficult to feed, as they rely on butterflies i think. I know they are happy with waxworms (name?). I think mantids are incredible.

@Kwitchy 11 лет назад

I had to go back and watch the crescendo moment three times to see the orchid mantis strike. Incredible.

@JesseMusicc 10 лет назад

I didn't know a "bush cricket" sounded like a mouse when it gets attacked.

@starsfalldown1234567 6 лет назад

JesseMusicc it's a katydid and not a cricket and no they don't sound like mice OKCUR!

@Marcus-gw4bb 6 лет назад

Actually i was sceptical at first cuz that is clearly a katydid but i thought to myself, this is freaking Sir David Attenborough narrating. He can't possibly get it wrong right? So i checked and katydid can also be called bush cricket or long-horned grasshopper.

@costco_pizza 6 лет назад

I really hate it when the BBC adds those stupid sound effects to these shows. I thought they would be a bit more professional than other channels.

@jamesdooling4139 6 лет назад

JesseMusicc I asked a Foley guy about this. They justify it with, "Well, when you squeeze a bug suddenly, sometimes you hear the surprise squeak of air escaping the spiracles." Whatever...

@netweed09 5 лет назад

aren't cicadas mega-loud tho?

@magicwalrus4255 9 лет назад

I jumped a mile when it ate the bush cricket.

@Jozezezeze 7 лет назад

What a gorgeous creature

@RizzyKhaos 9 лет назад

Did not see that coming. :|

@Noodles37UK 8 лет назад

+Rizzy Khaos I had a photo of an Orchid in a book and it took me months to make sense of the creature in the flower it was based in.

@ramoneabuoun1498 8 лет назад

Wow I didn't see that coming lol. I thought the Orange and Black Mantis was going to kill that other green bug lol.

@xtreme1002003 7 лет назад

Ramone Abuoun Just such an excellent and beautiful disguise.

@ramoneabuoun1498 7 лет назад

xtreme1002003 You're exactly right and that is exactly what it was a beautiful disguise.

@Botticelliraddie 4 года назад

The orange and black is an orchid nymph. It easily would fit on the tip of your finger and the katydid would've had an easy meal if it had any desire to eat it. Also orchids don't actually live on orchid flowers. They have not adapted to camoflague but to imitate. As long as they are on a plant they will look like a flower and pollinators will come directly to them. When in this staged set up, they are shown in a different way. They do not typically eat ground prey in nature. Only pollinators like flies, wasps, bees, etc. It's cool to keep them with orchids in captivity so you can see how well they blend in, but for a nature documentary, it's very inaccurate.

@joeKisonue Год назад

You and him both.

@Something-New- 10 лет назад

@buckfever321 11 лет назад

Watching its mouth work is fascinating.

@christianboiser3904 9 лет назад

i think that orange and black mantis didn't run for the cricket but for he's scared he maybe the target of the orchid mantis xD..

@biterness2323 9 лет назад

they were working together lol

@Snotlingfondler 4 года назад

@D S they are both orchid mantids. The orange and black mantis was a new born orchid mantis.

@saddamhussein3849 9 лет назад
