Why The Mantis Is Secretly A Killing Machine

From the creator

This documentary follows the lives of various mantis species, from the sun-drenched vineyards of Germany to the intense heat of the Sahara and the lush jungles of Thailand. Often mistaken for a peaceful, praying figure, this insect is actually a calculated killer with a strike that lasts only a fraction of a second. Witness the brutal reality of survival where camouflage is the ultimate weapon and even a mate can become a midday meal. You will see the Ghost Mantis mimic a dead leaf to perfection and the Orchid Mantis transform into a beautiful but deadly flower. These predators face their own nightmares too, from relentless armies of fire ants to territorial lizards. It is a world where being a top hunter requires constant maintenance of biological weapons and an insatiable appetite for anything that moves.
