Some questioned the mantis’s powers.

Only reason that Praying Mantis in that video ya'll reposting killed that murder hornet is because he snuck up on him. Otherwise its not even a close fight pic.twitter.com/6IMPkdKASC

Others showed you don’t doubt the mantis.

The praying mantis is an innocuous, almost zen-like insect with a passive demeanour, but Researchers have found that these aggressive insects, known to eat small frogs & lizards, also kill & eat small birds. pic.twitter.com/OL3LIwR4A4
