SamH Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Just filmed this in my backyard, mantis had the cicada no sweat but slipped and let him free. Cicada was sitting there staring at the mantis until Skylla ate it :facepalm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ally07 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 lol, I would've just caught both and thrown them into the tank! I actually have a video of a cicada vs my green arowana - no prizes for guessing who won lol. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antwan Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Cicada's don't seem to be very good at winning. Wasp ate a pretty decent sized hole into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ally07 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Perhaps the cicadas could learn a thing or two from Charlie sheen..? Winning! :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be not very good at winning either if your entire adult life consisted of running around trying to get laid while slowly starving to death.
