Not one rare wild mantis out of the 2400 species it mentions. Blue bottle flies are also the most common and easily acquired feeder insect for them, most scenes are just them eating flies. This is probably all set up.

I learned that if your a male mantis you need to make sure your girlfriend has a snack while mating so you don't get eaten.

Before you commend this video keep in mind that the lizard and mantis battle is staged. You can see that the lizard is being held down by a green glove or somthing. It also has no reason to just let a mantis claw its face with no retaliation. (I'm not the first to notice this just trying to keep it known) The videotography was really good but it's hard to have much respect for it when the video uses misleading tactics like these.

Why is it that whenever we see the lizard (while alive) on screen it only shows the first half of the lizard? I get that zooming in on the action makes for better cinematography of the "fight" but not once do see the whole of the lizard...Also why would a wild lizard just let a praying Mantis hold onto its face like that? Lizards are EXTREMEMLY skittish and would no doubt of ran instead of literally staying in one place. Also note @ 28:44 how when the lizard struggled, pay attention on how it pivots, its almost as if it was being held down by its tail or hind legs. I have no doubts that this video was in fact staged so that they can get footage of a Mantis "catching" a Lizard.

One hardly needs much of an imagination for writing movies such as Alien, Aliens, etc., with horrific monsters such as these! The footage of mantises hunting, mating and being predated themselves is extraordinary--well done. I remember being amazed by the site of a hummingbird's husk of a body after a mantis attack on another program. The female's death upon laying her fertilized eggs reminds me of the end of the octopus, once her eggs hatch, having starved herself to tend carefully to her developing offspring. Some advanced predators don't live long, and their lives are sacrificed as soon as the next generation has been secured--perhaps even sooner for males!

29:12 not a leaf but a green glove. Lizard could easily have backtracked when mantis initially struck but didn’t get hold of it. Instead it moved its body around like its back legs were paralysed and just stayed put so that the mantis had a second chance to strike. Disliked.
