i shouldn't have this as a pet... 

The poor mantis was just minding its business and then all of a sudden it gets kidnapped and forced to eat kiwis 😂

Ben:“IF I DROP THIS I WILL JUST NEVER RECOVER...” Also Ben: drops cockroach instantly

u should have added more plants or green leaves so he can hide and camouflage, also you can spread the soil around the whole enclosure.

So cute the way the mantis smiled 9:27

Me: Nobody: Not even his dog: Ben: AghAaghAaaaa!!!!!!!

Ben’s panic level:📈📈📈📈📈📈📈 The Mantis: AYO IM OVER HERE

4:45 Ben: Shųț-! *-HÆÈÀÞÈÁ-* *laughs cutely*😇

My pet June beetle, Henry, can relate. He was captured all because he had a broken wing, and then he was forced to eat watermelon. He also lives in a box that’s almost as big as my bearded dragon’s so…… man’s living a life of luxury

ben: if i drop this, if i drop this i just will never- cockroach:bYe sIs ben:*𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱𝗹𝘆 Edit: danG y’all didn’t have to like my comment wasn’t that funny-

No one: Not even Ben: Pray mantis: IM A BIRRRRRD

Praying mantis:*chillin* Ben:MUST HAVE IT

I Literally lost it when he screamed so loud the microphone broke I couldn’t hold it together at that part 😭😭

Me: * sees title * Also me: What did Ben do this time?

No one: No one one earth Ben: just Casually carrying a Green mantis

I remeber when my cousin would catch praying mantises and like capture them and literaly put those poor bugs through hell, and i mean light them on fire and cut them slowly and watch them suffer😢💀💀

bro when he screamed i laughted so hard i started crying.

Me: No one: Not a single soul Ben: OooOhH iMmA CapTuRE A liL BuG AnD KeeP it !!

Ben: IF I DROP THIS ILL NEVER RECOVER karma: sorry not sorry Also Ben: drops it

The way he screamed when he dropped the roach got me rolling on the floor 😂😂😂

I can’t go without a benoftheweek vid without laughing

Prying mantis tips: 1: they like hanging upside down so you might want to put a piece of paper on the top 2: the only need to eat every 2-4 days 3:they only eat live bugs 4:they can tear your skin (so be careful:) )

The way he screams is like a horror movie Not a hate comment

2020 was the most iconic era of Ben

I love watching benoftheweek do the dumbest (in a good way) things while eating smarties like chips till I get a stomach ache 😊

5:22 when you finish 10 assignments on the computer

Name recommendations: 1. Alfresco 2. Rolf the 3rd 3. Griffin the green That’s all I got hope you like these dulishush babys

Blud was just chillin then he fell off the top and broke his legs and pulled something in his ankle 😂

Bens face when he dropped the cockroach 😂0:09

Also the plant is a succulent, they live in Deserets so they don’t need much water

who else screamed when he DROPPED the “pet” Also Poor headphone Users... Edit: THANKS FOR the LiKeS

The way he said “if I drop this i will never recover” drops it screams a high note

You did a good job taking care of him I think he is happy ❤

9:09 PLEASEE HIS SCREAM!!😭😭😭

This man about to get diagnosed with cool guy syndrome Also, you might want to think about getting a nicer cage for them that you can easily feed them through. (There's also plenty of little cricket cages where you can breed em in and then easily shake them into the praying mantis cage.) Plus, he needs someplace to hide and better foliage. (Which can absolutely be fake plastic plants) It's too bright in there right now when you have the light on, and because of that light they're constantly panicking because being in the light without a hide usually means they gonna get eat by something. Also, from what I've heard these guys can be hard to take care of and keep alive. If you want him to survive, you're at least going to have to watch a RU-vid video or two about em and the care they need.

9:27 it's smiling so cuteee-

The part when he screamed I literally rolled off my bed and started laughing so hard😂

Nobody: Ben: finds a pray mantis and keeps it as his pet

8:26 THE CAVE SOUNDS GIVE ME ANXIETY ALL RHE TIME

Ben changed so much in 3 years it's crazy

6:45 me when my friends keep on calling me, but I tell them to stop 😂😢

BEN: HES CHILLING ON THE SHOO COCROACH: HEY SISTER

Ben: “If I drop this- I will just never fully re-“ Cockroach: uhm chile- **DROPS COCKROACH AND LOUD SCREAMING ENSUES**

9:29 HIS LITTLE SMILE

9:28 he’s so happy to cute

Ben: he’s home Me: bro u just threw him into a glass box

I know a lot about mantises (I have a lot of them as pets) that is a Chinese mantis it, is a female the Chinese mantis prefers flying prey such as moths, butterflies, house flies, blue bottle flies, or green bottle flies. She will eat the meal worms ALSO IT NEEDS LIVE FOOD NOT THE DEAD CRICKETS YOU ARE GIVING HER, but since that mantis was from the wild it may not survive it needs humidity, heat there is a great breeder that sells mantises they are great and they have a variety of them and they are awesome just informing you incase you want to release him back into where he belongs and get a captive bred one! Also if you do choose to send it into the wild again and buy one it needs a lot more decoration in order to molt or feel safe and not stressed another thing how you are keeping that mantis right now is animal abuse it does not have the proper care that it needs and will die if not given the proper care. Humidity and Heat Chinese mantises can tolerate a fair range when it comes to temperature and humidity, although they prefer it on the drier side, and closer to room temperature. They should do well being kept anywhere between 70°F and 85°F. Ideally, humidity should stay in the range of 50% to 60% relative humidity (RH). The enclosure should be given a light misting at least once a day so that your mantis can drink. When kept in mesh cages, we mist the enclosure twice a day. Most mantises do not like getting sprayed directly, so it is best to try and spray around the mantis, but if you get them a little wet by accident, it is usually no big deal. Use spring water, distilled water, or water filtered by reverse osmosis (RO), but do not use plain tap water.

That mantis was just trying to get some drip with the shoes

"If i drop this. If i drop this i just will never recover, AAAAAAAAAAAAA" my favorite benoftheweek quote

Ben: If I drop this- If I drop this I just will never recover- Cockroach: bYe! Ben: * screams like really loud * Ben's neighbours: 👁👄👁

9:28 HIS LITTLE SMILE I CAN'T!

When he screamed, I literally could not breathe. I was laughing so hard.

not me getting an ad and thinking it was a part of the video (bc ben's videos are kinda chaotic and u never know when u get random music)

I recommend coconut fiber for the flooring of the enclosure so he has a soft surface to sleep on and eat on

This is so random but I feel like some people may need to hear some reasons why you should stay alive. 1. We would miss you. 2. It's not worth the regret. Either by yourself if you failed or just simply left scars, or the regret everyone else feels by not doing enough to help you. 3. It does get better. Believe it or not it will eventually get better. Sometimes you have to go through the storm to get to the rainbow. 4. There's so much you would miss out on doing. 5. There is always a reason to live. It might not be clear right now, but it is always there. 6. So many people care, and it would hurt them if you hurt yourself. 7. You ARE worth it. Don't let anyone, especially yourself, tell you otherwise. 8. You are amazing. 9. A time will come, once you've battled the toughest times of your life and are in ease once again, where you will be so glad that you decided to keep on living. You will emerge stronger from this all, and won't regret your choice to carry on with life. Because things always get better. 10. What about all the things you've always wanted to do? What about the things you've planned, but never got around to doing? You can't do them when you're dead. 11. I love you. Even if only one person loves you, that's still a reason to stay alive. 12. You won't be able to listen to music if you die. 13. Killing yourself is never worth it. You'll hurt both yourself and all the people you care about. 14. There are so many people that would miss you, including me. 15. You're preventing a future generation, YOUR KIDS, from even being born. 16. How do you think your family would feel? Would it improve their lives if you died? 17. You're gorgeous, amazing, and to someone you are perfect. 18. Think about your favourite music artist, you'll never hear their voice again... 19. You'll never have the feeling of walking into a warm building on a cold day 20. Listening to incredibly loud music 21. Being alive is just really good. 22. Not being alive is really bad. 23. Finding your soulmate. 24. Red pandas 25. Going to diners at three in the morning. 26. Really soft pillows. 27. Eating pizza in New York City. 28. Proving people wrong with your success. 29. Watching the jerks that doubted you fail at life. 30. Seeing someone trip over a garbage can. 31. Being able to help other people. 32. Bonfires. 33. Sitting on rooftops. 34. Seeing every single country in the world. 35. Going on roadtrips. 36. You might win the lottery someday. 37. Listening to music on a record player. 38. Going to the top of the Eiffel Tower. 39. Taking really cool pictures. 40. Literally meeting thousands of new people. 41. Hearing crazy stories. 42. Telling crazy stories. 43. Eating ice cream on a hot day. 44. Talking bad about people that deserve it to your best friend and ranting all day 45. Travelling to another planet someday. 46. Having an underwater house. 47. Randomly running into your hero on the street. 48. Having your own room at a fancy hotel. 49. Trampolines. 50. Think about your favourite movie, you'll never watch it again. 51. Think about the feeling of laughing out loud in a public place because your best friend has just sent you an inside joke, 52. Your survival will make the world better, even if it's for just one person or 20 or 100 or more. 53. People do care. 54. Treehouses 55. Hanging out with your soul mate in a treehouse 55. Snorting when you laugh and not caring who sees 56. I don't even know you and I love you. 57. I don't even know you and I care about you. 58. Because nobody is going to be like you ever, so embrace your uniqueness! 59. You won't be here to experience the first cat world emperor. 60. WHAT ABOUT FOOD?! YOU'LL MISS CHOCOLATE AND ALL THE OTHER YUMMY THINGS! 61. Starbucks. 62. Hugs. 63. Stargazing. 64. You have a purpose, and it's up to you to find out what it is. 65. You've changed somebody's life. 66. Now you could change the world. 67. You will meet the person that's perfect for you. 68. No matter how much or how little, you have your life ahead of you. 69. You have the chance to save somebody's life. 70. If you end your life, you're stopping yourself from achieving great things. 71. Making snow angels. 72. Making snowmen. 73. Snowball fights. 74. Life is what you make of it. 75. Everybody has a talent. 76. Laughing until you cry. 77. Having the ability to be sad means you have the ability to be happy. 78. The world would not be the same if you didn't exist. 79. Its possible to turn frowns, upside down 80. Be yourself, don't take anyone's shit, and never let them take you alive. 81. Heroes are ordinary people who make themselves extraordinary. Be your own hero. 82. Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections. 83. One day your smile will be real. 84. Having a really hot, relaxing bath after a stressful day. 85. Lying on grass and laughing at the clouds. 86. Getting completely smashed with your best friends. 87. Eating crazy food. 88. Staying up all night watching your favourite films with a loved one. 89. Sleeping in all day. 90. Creating something you're proud of. 91. You can look back on yourself 70 years later and being proud you didn't commit 92. Being able to meet your Internet friends. 93. Tea / Coffee / Hot Chocolate 94. The new season of The Umbrella Academy 95. Cuddling under the stars. 96. Being stupid in public because you just can. 97. If you are reading this then you are alive! Is there any more reason to smile? 98. being able to hug that one person you havent seen in years 99. People care enough about you and your future to come up with 100 reasons for you not to do this. 100. But, the final and most important one is, just, being able to experience life. Because even if your life doesn't seem so great right now, literally anything could happen. I love you so much

legend has it nobody knows if ben still has the mantis.

The amount of times that he had a panic attack 😂

Mantises feet has "sticky pads" on them so they could stick to walls like lizards.
