Couldn’t have filmed the ending? Fuck man. You had gold there, but you blew it.
6 u/Tango-Turtle 4d ago The mantis being much smaller, it must have gotten tired quicker and got eaten. 12 u/S0k0n0mi 4d ago I'm not sure insects work that way. Don't they just inflate something pretty much like a hydraulic system and lock it in if they want to? I believe that system is why spiders do that weird curl up when they die; their hydraulic pressure drops. Can some entomologist chime in on this? 1 u/Paddy32 3d ago Yes /s
