Orchid Mantis Catching A Wasp
This mantis species hides in flowers and it even looks like one. It carefully catches a wasp from the air without a sting, how about that!

I HATE WASPS. Thank you orchid mantis for keeping our air safe.
i’m a Malaysian……… i can easily find orchids around…. and maybe i could catch some orchid mantises…… but i can’t ship them to where you stay…….-.-”
Sweet!!!! That is an awesome video
I never saw a mantis catch a wasp before.
very cool video, thanks for sharing.
Finally, now I can see the benefits of carpeting the ceiling of these plastic tanks with silk plants.
To be honest, no matter how much a mantid takes to its new tank, seeming content on the ground, invariably they’ll end up at the top.
Maybe the crickets will be encouraged to venture there too.
@DJAlMighty247 I would never let such a beautiful thing get near those vapid cunts, I hope your mantis lived/lives a good life.
what kind of set up is good for a 3 inch green mantis?
I hate wasps i wish i had a mantis outside our school theres like a million wasps theres some in the garbage can some in the trees some on the door
does anyone kno where i can purcase some egg casings of the orchid mantis please let me kno if so i live in ohio and find them very beautiful.
@Desmodus96 Yes they like heat. A 25W lamp is good on top. Roomtemp during the night is important as well. In this tank the fake orchid is a good place to warm up.
@shweterpatron welcome to my wold dude but instead of wasps bees i looked like the wasp[ just standed on the mantis and started to eat
jesus christ that was fast hahaha what an amazing creature you have there
He did a magic trick at 0:04, he made it disapear and apear somewhere else.
@DJAlMighty247 gorgeous mantis. you are usa ? i catch juve giant asian mantis from the wild( i am from singapore)and rear them till the reach adult and release them in the same area.i feed them wild caught grass hoppers spiders beetles wasps flies moths and the largest female i reared was 5.5 inches and was very aggressive.
@shweterpatron Without wasps, plants will die. Jussayin.
Wasps don’t do anything but bully other bugs, and sometimes us! -:(
@DJAlMighty247 sir i gotta ask where can you get one of these kinda mantids? i raise Carolina mantids most and chinese mantids but im curious on where you got this one?
@TheInsectMania wasp dont do anything for plants thank the humble bumble bee for that wasp feast on caterpillars n such
@Jimborocknroll90 Well, If wasps don’t feed on other creatures then I guess we’d be over flown with them.
@TheInsectMania nah if you think about it really wasps are just assholes, we got other bugs to take care of them ya know? i just hate wasps so much they’re the only bugs that just seem to sting me for no reason
how did you get the wasp in there with out stinging you
Coolest low maintenance pet ever
At 0:12 how did it catch it so fast???
that was quick man. i need to find what an ideal setup looks like and then give it a crack myself
It sucks I can’t have one of these beautiful insects as a pet because of their short lifespan. I’d get too attached only to lose is after only a little more than a year. Still, gorgeous creatures.
