Yeah, the mantis had few chances.
But that Orthopteran was good anyway. It realized that it needed to drop the mantis on the ground. It did it sucessfully and didnt give the mantis any chance to survive.

the mantis survived alot longer than i thought it would. i've seen the Orthropteran kill a camel spider so i thought that it would have even less trouble with a mantis.

I was hoping for decapitation since ortho was very well capable. Mantis has the advantage to keep kicking ass after it loses it's head.

Gayness I say the ortho was a huge armored tank the mantis needs to be pitted into the smaller sized matches. In fact why dojn't they put the species into classes and into sections. Ex. venom strength form... Comon that was just pitiful. I f you ask me they are trying to make the cricket look good

I want to see a match with a larger mantis VS a smaller scorpion, I think the mantis might actualy have a chance then smilies/wink.gif! They keep putting the mantis with very large apponents and mantises are normaly very thin. Most of the mantises strength is in its fore arms and it has to be able to grasp its opponent to do damage! If the mantis has an opponent with a smaller thiner frame than it might be able to get its vise-grip on it and then game over for its opponent!
All the fights I have seen have a few flaws that work against the mantis, first of all the opponents are always too big and mantises generaly only attack what they can eat which is of a size they can lock there grip onto anything else they see as too big and intimidating they will try to avoid by backing away and using a punch manuever to keep the opponent away. With limited room and larger than normal opponents the mantis is doomed. Second is mantises usualy use stealth, camouflage, and the ability to hang upside down and climb around branches to there advantage when hunting. There is not a single fight where the mantis is able to climb up and over above its opponent and it is certainly unable to use camouflage and stealth in its attack!
I have several Chinese mantises at home and they have no problem over powering prey when they can grab it and take it to the screen top of there cage where the prey hangs helpless while being eaten alive. I have fed them bees and spiders even a rather large young hissing cockroach smilies/shocked.gif! In the past I kept some local mantises and I would feed them black widow spiders (which are also local) all the time and in every case but one the mantis annihilated the black widow! The one exception was when I dropped the mantis into the black widows web and even then the mantis managed to remove one of the widows legs before it became the spiders meal!

I agree with DAVID N. Mantises are very good and strong hunters, but they kill only when they want to eat. In this fights, there are too small mantises and sometimes you can see they are overeaten, so they have no reason to fight. They have no poison or weapons to defend itself so they only want to run away… And why there aren´t more fights? I think that there are many interesting combinations of fights we haven´t seen yet... For example solpugid vs tarantula, hornet vs orthopteran, centipede vs solpugid, hornet vs spider, orthopteran vs scorpion, mantis vs centipede, solpugid vs hornet, two kinds of spiders….

I Have To Agree With David. N Too. The Mantis Had A Thinner Body And the Cricket Had A Bigger Body. The Mantis Has A Venomous Bite And the Cricket Has A Even More Venomous Bite. Very Unfair.

Most of the mantises live in asia, mostly in japan, wich sucks for them. The Mantises always get put in a tiny little box crammed with some huge bug way bigger than it. Or its crammed in a box and its not even 4 inches high, and its got this huge mega-cricket or a tarantula almost as tall as the mantis.tarantulawithout any camoflauge, how will it attack. It's not how it works in the wild. Mantises use the element of suprize and in these fights its basically saying 'im a big juicy mantis without any fight advantages! I'm also in a tiny box so I can't escape! Come and eat me!" In the wild, the mantis would kill anything than moved. They should ban these bug fights. They're abstolutely horrible. Think about it... getting two aggressive bugs, cramming them in a cage so small that thers no room for them to move around, they have no choice but to fight and kill eachother. It's inhumane and if they keep putting praying mantises in the fights, they're gonne wipe it right off the face of the earth. Japan has to start making laws 'cause they make animals kill eachother, or they kill them. any of the Japanese ppl who have any part in this belong in jail.

Во всех боях богомол находится в невыгодных условиях: ему тесно. Конечно, ползующим прямокрылым, паукам и другим членистоногим легче в этой "клетке" драться. В реальных условиях богомол точно проиграл бы только шершню. А вот, к примеру, его бой против паука и не где-нибудь, а в паутине: http://www.ochevidec.net/id/1408.html. При равных размерах шансы в бою против скорпиона были бы 50/50. Кузнечика, с которым долго возился шершень, богомол убил бы сразу, как и шмеля. Вот так

a fight is a fight and i dont thin you can cheat in an all out brawl in a box this match pit this mantis vs. the weta if that particular mantis is not strong enough it will lose maybe if they put a diferent speicies of mantis in there it would win but that one lost
