While taking a walk, I stumbled upon a small mantis.
I decided to grow the mantis to adulthood.
I have been catching pests for mantis every day and the mantis is starting to grow healthy.
I named the mantis Kiwi when I saw the green body coming out of the brown skin as they molt.
Then one day, it's strange that Kiwi doesn't eat anything.
Kiwi without eating for two days...
What will happen to Kiwi?

This is like having a real life relationship with a grass type Pokemon. What a cute little scyther, I am jealous.
Haha bug type! (Eventually bug/flying)

I don't know why but when that thing looked back at the guy after drinking the water..that made me extremely uncomfortable
@@olbricky6824 it's not "a thing" 😡
@@ET-BILU you know what I mean
The fact he runs to your hand when hes scared of something is adorable...
Agreed so cute
That really was the best :))
Haha I loved that part. But he got a revenge match once after he molted. That part was awesome! 1hit kill
omg i wanted to comment the same haha
Stand on it and crush it.
I had a praying mantis as a kid and I have to say they are one of the most personable insects you can have as a pet. Near the adult stages she would sit on my shoulder and chill. Very cute.
I need to work on my Korean classes… *sad exhale* :(
So
I love this comment!

You should put some plants in Kiwi's home. Plants are not just good for their health, it can also provide a sense of safety because they can camoflage and hide among the leaves. But I can tell that Kiwi is happy, healthy and strong, you're taking good care of it!
저사마귀좋라요😊
I never thought I'd find a mantis so adorable. My heart can't handle it, I think it's because of the large eyes.
same！
They have this intelligence about them that is eerie, too. I rarely see them but found one and it was so cute, studying me like an alien learning about humans. I brought him inside and let him hang out on my bed while I was watching videos. I took him back outside later and set him on the ledge where I found him. When I got back inside I walked past my dresser mirror and there he was, on my head 😂🤣 he had to have jumped on as soon as I turned to walk away! Adorable.
@@LunarEleven Safety mate, little inteligence is needed to recognice it XD
For me it’s the way it reacts to everything moving!
I like phone game part🤗
honestly i have huge respect for you for not being scared of bugs and trusting a manti. also with that tick, i would've run away 5 kilometers away
Same
I'd step on it, i would burn it.
They're harmless. No venom. No bite that can break skin. And the claws just tickle. Some people take this afraid of bugs thing way too far... The vast majority are mostly harmless
I mean even a black widow is harmless unless you stick your hand in its nest. At that point it's your fault and not the bugs
@@careless3241 What about ticks, cockcroaches and more disgusting pest. I ain't afraid of them, but i hate them. Like hate to kill they are dirty annoying and also keeps laying egg some where hidden.

Watching kiwi try to get the tick over and over was absolutely hilarious-
I have a horrible fear of insects but even I have to admit this is pretty wholesome thanks for the gentle exposure!!
Same!!
same!!!
I admit that cockroaches are scary for me, but still other bugs like these aren't THAT bad
Same but i hate coackroach more!!
The mantis is one of the few insects that I actually don't mind hanging around nearby. Cool little fellas, don't suck my blood, mess with my food, dig around in filth, incapable of harm, eats other bugs, what's not to like?
I didn’t ever think insects could develop a relationship with a human in anyway. This was very cool to watch I enjoyed this thank you!
@@FrozenMermaid666 Surely you jest and nobody is like this lol
@@FrozenMermaid666 going by that logic, an animal hunting another in the wild is also animal cruelty, well shit seems we have to put down every carnivorous animal!

This is the most wholesome place on the entire internet. Thank you. And it's AMAZING that you caught Kiwi during his final molt on camera. I know he's gone now, but it's wonderful that you had that time together. You're a very special person.
I can’t fully describe the pride I felt when Kiwi finally caught the spotted lanternfly and when he molted for his final time! I love this so much! Never thought I would be so happy to watch a praying mantis grow
Those spotted lanternflies are a super invasive, destructive species; I've seen public notices to kill them on sight... Turns out we just need to hire Kiwi!
Also they are sooo pretty, it's too bad they are such little destroyers...
It's a she

I also raised a mantis and thoroughly enjoyed finding insect food for him. After several months, mantis laid a large “pod” and passed away… Lovely mantis died, but left many children so I wouldn’t be lonely!
Let me offer you my condolences. I'm pretty sure that she lived an amazing life and she's grateful for everything you've done to her. ❤️
@@Wheeley1337 Thank you, Unpredictabile! I found her near a McDonalds when we stopped at a waterpark while on vacation…We named her “McDonald” but changed it to “McDonna” after she laid her egg sac!🥰
did you catch her as an adult already prego?
@@SkyCandyVisuals Yes, she must have been both - pregnant and full grown when I found her. However, now that I think back, it may have been that the ootheca she left behind was a dud because I can’t say with certainty that baby mantids came teaming out after her demise (sorry - it was years ago!🤷🏻♀️) So it’s possible she WASN’T pregnant and female mantids still lay a ootheca before they die but it’s not viable! I did purchase a mantis egg case soon after and was able to video the “birth”…or “hatching” of 100’s of babies! Now THAT was cool! So many tiny babies teaming out all at one, heading for my rose bushes! It didn’t occur to me to save a few babies and try to raise them…they were SO small - how could they be fed…or contained? As it was, I ended up visiting them in the roses until they were all disbursed. But what great fun and a learning experience!
wow praying mantis dying after laying eggs? that's sad and uncommon (depending on the species); in Spain female mantis keep mating with males and laying eggs from late august til late September and then they spend October slowing their metabolism down more each day until they die.

I actually cheered when Kiwi got the tick hahaha👏👏👏😂 I love Praying Mantis. You watch them. And they watch you right back. What a beautiful creature.
Ok but I am just now realizing how cute those animals actually are. Also they have meme potential, like, Kiwi seems to really have a personality and the look on her face makes me love her even more :D
it‘s the monday morning face
Mantises are extremely friendly. They only try to attack their prey and predators. I've befriended many of them, and they do great security for my cannabis plants ❤
never thought about that 🤔
It's true. Every time I reach out to a mantis, it reaches out to climb on or just hops on my hand. And often will try to climb up to a shoulder and enjoy the ride until I make a point of dropping it off. They don't run/fly away, or just simply ignore you, and never bite either. From behavior alone it appears they enjoy interacting with humans, and at the very least, they certainly don't see us as a threat since they have a recognizable threatened stance and people don't cause it. On top of that, the way they actually turn their head to make eye contact makes it seem like they might actually kinda understand what we are? Definitely the most sociable insect around in my experience.

Hello
The relationship between you and your mantis is truly inspiring! As someone who has studied and kept insects for many years, I can say with absolute certainty that your friend here truly loves and trusts you! Being able to survive so many stages is an incredible feat, and the fact that they survived goes to show not only how strong kiwi is, but how well cared for they are! Amazing video, thank you for sharing your journey!!
Si messi
Oh.....ok
It's beautiful, really.
I've read somewhere that Mantis ain't able to "love" or feel anything. They behead their partner after sexual intercourse is what I also read. Trust? Yes, of course and the Mantis seem to know that the human protects him but don't you think that it's maybe just because of survial and not because of feelings? I'm an amateur to insects so I really just heard that little story. If you know more please let me know.

The little head move he does when looking at your finger is rlly cute for a mantis

I found a rather larger Chinese Mantis as a child and let it live in my mother's flower garden. Named her Sheila, fed her crickets, and she was even larger than Kiwi. In fact very large, not shy of 8in and probably more than that still. I've never seen one that large since then, nor have I ever seen another Chinese Mantis since (I live in Indiana).
I started raising and breeding mantids at 7 years old. Also live in Indiana. Chinese mantids were really rare, even back in the 90's. I'd find maybe one for every 10 to 15 Carolina mantids. Insect populations are way down now, and it's been years since I've seen another Chinese mantis. It's been a long time.
When mantis was chasing flies on the phone screen, it reminded me of a cat chasing a laser pointer =D
This is so fascinatng to watch. When Kiwi was eating the corn worm: "tastes like corn soup" 😂😂😂
For me from now on: "Oh no, the corn soup tastes like worm!" :(

I had a mantis as a kid. Honestly one of the best animals a young guy can have if he has to take one from the wild. It was easy to take care of. I gave it water dishes and caught basement crickets to feed it. He was super chill and always happy to just hang out on my shoulder. Sometimes because the enclosure (glass jar) didn't take up much room I would take him to a friend's house and let them enjoy him too. I waited until he grew big and strong over the course of a year or so and then let him go back into the wild. Was an awesome pet. PS. I also sometimes fed him Kentucky Fried Chicken and I swear he loved it!!
I also had a pet mantis once when I was a kid. They really are the coolest insect! Superpredators! This video was super fun to watch, it brings back memories of my little guy!
Did he prefer the ''Extra Crispy'' or ''Original Recipe'' ?!😜

Weird...
Yay for Kiwi! I love Mantises (spelling?). They're very calm towards humans, can't actually bite us with the mouth-parts they have, and are just very cool all-around. I found one the other day in the parking lot of my work, she came right up to me and jumped on my hand, looked straight at me when I said "Hi" then flew to the nearest bush lol
I'm looking at one right now and I really wanna befriend it but at the same time I don't wanna disturb it😂
Mantids :)
I Have had one slice the tip of my finger wide open. I don't disturb them anymore because that was so fast and such a nasty cut that I learned my lesson. All I did was reach out my hand the same as in the video. Finger skin is tough and it was instantaneous. I hardly saw it move.... just a prick and lots of blood.

@@ImBaxBTW they know they can’t fight humans tho
Many years ago I went on a hike in Northern Italy. I was just taking a rest in a meadow when a large praying mantis sat down on a blade of grass, less than 1 meter in front of me. She turned out to be very curious, watching me very carefully from top to bottom. Her eyes, each with apparently 2 pupils, amazed me very much. Then she fixed my face. A kind of telephathic conversation ensued. This is not an invention, not a lie. Translated into words, it was about: "What are you? Look, this is me. We do nothing, no animosity." Of course they weren't words, but between us there was a tension that just showed: curiosity and nobody eats the other. That took about 10 minutes. As it flew away, I felt a surge of astonishment at the communication of nature. I never experienced anything like it in the next 40 years. It overwhelmed me. I will never forget that.
It is possible to bring intuition to a level like telepathy, some people can communicate with animals Laila del monte for exemple. In a totaly different field, I've read that there is alien mantis species wich are very telepathic and mostly kind. Discover one way or the other if you like. Good luck.
They do have pupils and they do have a thought process! They can be mean too.. a baby landed on my girlfriends knee and stared at her. She thought it was gonna attack her. So I got my phone camera out, got close to it, and it started staring at me, walked closer to me, and jumped to attack my finger. He/she was a baby!!! Such an incredible insect ♡
One time i got super high and telepathically communicated with a friend's dog. I could tell from our eye contact, the voice in my head directed at me claiming to be from the dog, and vibes that we were talking. It spooked the ish out of me.
@@brianbanks9858 You can be grateful for this gift. And proud too, because the dog has shown you great confidence. I live in Switzerland. In some hospitals and clinics, animals are used as full-fledged therapists. This is not a joke, nor is it a glorified perception, but a pure fact. Dogs, especially Golden Retriviers, can smell the smell of various types of cancer. Doctors cannot diagnose properly because blood, urine, and other tests are unclear. A trained dog, including a handler, is brought to the patient. In the first phase, the animal sniffs incessantly (in the case that I have observed) at the breasts and abdomen of the sick woman, he briefly looks at the doctor, then he rested his head calmly on the woman's chest and gives gentle pressure on the breast nodes . The loving face and body expression of the Golden moved me to tears. The patient also wept for the love she felt. (The woman has both breasts amputated and one ovary removed. She survived; Today, after 20 years, you can see her walking her Tibetan dog every day in the village. She can laugh again. A big, heavy old cat lived in a drug rehab. 19 years old. His name was Puma because he was pitch black and anything but a cuddly toy. He defended his place on the sofa in the lounge. He couldn't be petted; Anyone who tried it got a few scratches on hands. Whenever the patient cried, or rolled over and over in bed, or suffered from withdrawal pains, Puma promptly appeared and lay down with him. Sometimes on his stomach and I've seen him lying on a woman's face before. A nurse was often on vacation in Canada. From there she always brought a cloth bag full of a special grass. That was the biggest thing for Puma. He took the bag with him in his sleeping basket, where he wet it with a lot of storage, then sniffed the spicy aroma. Immediately afterwards he was visibly stoned. At least as if he'd smoked a good joint. He squinted in those moments. We sat around him and gave him the reward he deserved. These are 2 really true stories that the laying wrote. Was for a beautiful world!
@@davidhayes3257 You are absolutely right. I made this observation in Rimini (I) in 1993. Before my eyes, at a height of about 2 meters, a thick hornet (approx. 2 cm) and a white praying mantis (approx. 10 cm) collide and immediately fought each other. The "Kneuel fell to the ground. For the time being, I was sure that the hornet would win, because because of the contractions in the body I assumed that it had stabbed several times. That was probably a mistake. The mantis clung to it. The cruelty of the mantis could. It was a mistake." I almost can't get it. Within a minute she beheaded the "poor victim" with her scissor jaw. Then she began to hollow out the upper part of the body. The hornet squirmed for 10-15 seconds in agony. Sometimes nature demonstrates the true concern for "eating and being eaten" Unfortunately, there weren't any smartphones with cameras back then.
OMG I was here for 21 minutes watching a green mantis grow up and the process was amazing to watch and I had to put it in the captions so I could see what it said because of course it’s in Japanese and I cannot read Japanese so I was just reading and reading and reading and reading and reading and reading so it took me so long to read all of it but I understand it all now and I just love seeing the green mantis grow up and also hunting all of those pets and bugs. I’m sorry I meant.Pests I was also getting worried that kiwi was getting sick because the tick might have carried a disease or something. I don’t know a lot about bugs but all I know is that some of them can deserve to be bad but some of them are just so cute and I love them, I really love how you took care of that mantis I can’t forget about it. Thank you for taking care of it and thank you for giving me a little bit of exploring wildlife cause without this, I would even know the process of a green mantis

I don’t even know how your video came up in my feed but I’m so glad it did! I love the way you chose food for Kiwi! I have always loved mantises. They seem so aware like jumping spiders. I love how gentle you are with kiwi.
I was repotting plants in my backyard and I found a jumping spider. He hopped onto one of my big pots (I had just put my tomato plant into it) and inspected it then watched me dump the sand top layer off my house plant. He waited a minute and decided how to go about inspecting the sand then jumped into it and wandered. He ended up jumping onto another new pot and watched me. Everytime I moved him away so that I didn’t accidentally step on him, he popped back up somewhere near me and was watching me.
I really love mantises and ants and I love when you do this such a good channel

@@jmc2830 Wonderful... I love symbiotic relationships like this, especially with misunderstood creatures like spiders. I personally have a gecko friend who likes to hide out in our pantry and help himself to the moths. I believe I've seen this same gecko on and off for years, and it has grown quite fat and happy here.
I just love how this show that the mantis actually learned through trial and error. Like, they need to think about a situation to solve it! Its not just hardwired in them. Some of it is, like striking out at moving prey, but they still needed a few tries to figure out how to grasp this new sort of pray, and they actually did it! Same with the water. At first they did not grasp the consept, but after a little while they noticed the water and realized to drink instead of strike. It may not sound like much, being able to drink after a few tries. But the fact that they can learn and solve problems...thats amazing!! Yeah, they may not be as clever as a crow, or a horse, or even a snake, but there is indeed something there. They are not biological robots, and that fills me with joy.^^
Yea no animal is a biological robot except for sea sponges and corals
Every creature, including insects have intelligence. I once made friends with an Eastern Parson spider that lived in my kitchen. One day, out of curiosity, I put down water for her in a little cap. She seemed to understand what is was as she dipped her front foot in & cleaned off her foot then got more water. It was so cool to watch her. Whenever I was in my kitchen, she would come out and watch me cook. I had to put her outside when she came out while my husband was doing the laundry. LOL. She was a pretty big spider & it was a shock when she came out to watch him.
Amazing video! Thanks for sharing it here 😊

Human: "Awwwwww! How awesome! I found a baby mantis and it is crawling up my arm. I think I am going to make him a pet." Mantis: "Hmmmmm. If I'm going to eat this thing's head, I am going to have to get a whole lot bigger. Better stay close so my pray does not escape."
Ha ha! Very creative :)
i was going to press like but i didn't want to ruin the number >o

Aww so cute kiwi is adorable 😍 did you actually keep him?
No, she's already passed away. She was female.
I love the editing on this. I need a praying mantis now.
I have always been fascinated by the praying mantis. They have such a regal, calm demeanor- very soothing to watch. I was graced by a mantis this year on one of my potted plants in the front yard. I was using a gentle stream of water and he poked his head out as if to chastise me for getting him wet! I got closer, took pictures and was amazed that he very graciously posed and turned his head to get his “ good side”. Now that I’ve seen your video- I think I’ll continue to watch from afar…gathering food is a bit daunting ( but your care & feeding of your mantis really shows a wonderful side - mostly hidden- of caring human kind! Thank you.
Mantises are quite cat-like, IMO.
"at the worm's tremendous speed, even Kiwi panicked" worm: literally moving 0.01 kilometers per hour
Worms are usually slower than that
@@LuckClover1 wow!
You mean moving -1.20
worm: fast and wobbly wins the race mantis: omae wa mou shindeiru worm: nani!? 10:12 **eeeeeeeeeee**
Tastes like corn soup lol

장구벌레가 물없이도20분인나 살아남고 그걸 개미가 잡아가는 모습이 야생 다큐의 한 장면이네요😮
I had a similar experience just last year with a Chinese mantis I named “Monty.” Except I didn’t find her walking outdoors. I was inside my home when a baby mantis climbed into my window. She was no bigger than the tip of my pinky. I decided to make her a terrarium and took care of her and watched her grow for six months. I’m gonna miss her. This video really helped me relive those memories!
Do they die after 6 months?
@@sondersonics7534 Not automatically. From what I’ve looked up, they live somewhere between 6 and 9 months. I think sometimes they can live for a whole year. P.S. This info mainly relates to the Chinese mantis (𝙏𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙖 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙨). Each species of mantis has a different lifespan.
@@fedoratheexplorer6422 i killed a huge mantis that came through my window...i feel really bad about it a year later. I was just scared of it but it put me on a weird video spree over a year to learn about them. I feel terrible about it still and if another comes in im taking your approach lol
@VAFixer understandable most mantids are very friendly towards humans and entertaining, as someone whose raised about 10 of them. Easy to take care of.
The first time you gave Kiwi a lantern bug and they got scared and ran to u was so friggin cute!
IKR
and all this time, after hearing stories of people getting bit hard by praying mantises, it was anti-climactic to say the least. i was surprised at just how friendly kiwi was
.
Absolutely loved having these as pets when i was a kid! Think im due to do that again forsure. Absolutely loved this content mega stocked I watched this!
Imagine being a worm, feasting on a farmer's crop and then you wake up to someone recording you and soon after you get caught red handed and eaten alive by a mantis 16:14 DANCING STICK BUG
Awe. I love how Kiwi runs to you if they are scared that mantis has full trust in you and it's safety
I think you mean "it".
Verdade
@@guestc142 nope, it is kiwi
@@flintmidnight Kiwi will always be Kiwi.
@@guestc142 that's true
Now you've done it -- got me sad at missing my mantis from years back. Rock was the size of a mosquito when we took it in. Six instars later, Rock was flying across the room to hang out on the exposed brick wall. And was getting a little scary aggressive. One day I was surprised by a foamy ball on Rock's main stick, and it turned out to be an ooth. I remember shouting out loud, "Rock is a GIRL!?!!!" I miss her, especially when she'd grab a cricket under each arm at the same time, and bite off the head first. Don't mess with a female mantis : ).
Did she eat hummingbirds to? 👿
I thought only males could fly? Sorry if I'm wrong I dont know a lot about these animals
Wow, you accidentally named a female mantis “Rock”. Very interesting. Nice story, though. I hope she comes back.
wtf the last part lol
now i want a mantis
The mantis is so cute❤
아우 귀여워 유튜브 보다보니까 사마귀 귀야운것도 알게되넼ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I love when Kiwi was playing with the virtual flies on the iPad trying to catch them.
All throughout the process she was like: *confused mantis noises*
@@Enderwave22 Yeah but it was kinda cute
자기 몸만한 꽃매미를 보고 겁먹어 도망치는 장소가 돼라님의 손 위라는 것이 감동적이다. 영상에서 보여주지 않은 교감들이 얼마나 많을지 상상도 안 된다..
무조건ㅇㅈ
me and my 4 years old daugther love watching your videos shes always like DADDY PLAY PLEASE BEE (she loves bugs and other species) greeting from POLAND !!
18:17 아 박수질 개 웃기넹 ㅋㅋ콬 개 기여ㅜ어ㅛ
Love the moment when kiwi is still a baby and you give him his first lantern fly, and he's like "daddy im afraid, I better run up your hand for protection!"
14:10 The way Kiwi ran to them. That melted my heart.
Your mantis vivarium is really cool! I might make one like it if I get a pet mantis
i love the stickbug shaking part.
사마귀가 벌레잡기 게임하는거 넘 신기해욬ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 자기는 진짠줄 알았겠지만ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 사마귀는 징그럽기만했는데 이렇게 애정을 가지고 찍어놓은걸 보니 저까지 키위가 귀여워보이고 애정이 생기네요
I had one of these as a pet back in the '90s . Great pets and very easy to look after. Mine was a female, and after her third shed she had wings.She often layed little egg sacs which of course were all dormant , but was fun to see up close 😀
Please be careful when phrasing such things. Rarer varieties of manti are currently subject to illegal capture and sale worldwide as cute novelty items, and it often ends in tragedy. Manti aren't "easy" to keep, they require very specific conditions to thrive depending on their sub-species. Keeping any animal is only "easy" when you know what you're doing thanks to research and help from experts. You can keep one people, but please use legal breeders, not wild-caught sellers, and inform yourself.
@@k.v.7681 I agree with this. I knew the mother of my mantis and mine hatched in captivity. I had to wait until the baby ate a few crickets before taking it, that way I knew it was reasonably healthy 👍
@@k.v.7681 Please. They never specified what kind. Also, I've myself had kept a mantis as a pet myself. Keeps a many different species of arthropods and even brings them to cons and events. I also have a local bug zoo where I exchange information and other stuff with the people who run the place.
@@kennyferrick1240 You should reread the exchange between Cave Man and myself...
@@kennyferrick1240 You seem way too overbearingly needy; “please this, please that”.
I don't usually like mantis but I somehow loved watching this.
The way he looks at you when he wanted food, it was funny
