Spider: *flees*
Kung Fu Mantis: Why is the boss music still playing?
Kekd
HAHAHAHA
Phase 2 health Bar appears
Lol
your comment made my day😂😂😂
Mantis: Yeah, run away! That's what I thought."
*turns around and realizes why the spider really ran away*
Best
jack pcb nice comment
FACTS
😅😅
😂😂😂
This should earn an academy award, it genuinely made me realize that some animals' lives can be turned into movies.
The difference is this isn't one animal's life this is video of several different insects and they splice them together to make it look like they just followed the one mantis
@@Mr.Sr.Jr. actually it was the same mantis
Bugs Life
@@Jasgur_Kaur12 You don't actually believe that. Right?
@@Mr.Sr.Jr. I know I was just saying it seems to be one
“With a bit of Luck, in 2 months time, it will be as Big and Beautiful as this Orchid Mantid”
“Or Maybe Not 🤷”

🤣💀💜
@personal home ♥️
"Shifu taught you well. But he didn't teach you everything."
LMAO 🤣🤣😆😆
Nice one!🤣😂🤣😂
Lmaoooo
You fought well, but I'm simply 10x bigger
I'm done 🤣🤣🤣 what a comment
turned into a cultivation furnace you go
who else grew a strong bond with that mantis and was genuinely sad at the end.
Elijah Mckenzie Me I was like this mantis will live a while then
Small Mantis:Hello big thick and beautiful
Big Mantis:Hello Small skinny and ugly
Small mantis:wait what
*crunch crunch*
Randall Flagg Lol yours wa better
Elijah Mckenzie -- This looks like a set-up to me! The BBC *deliberately* placed the baby mantis on a leaf with the full-grown one, just so that he would be savagely, heartlessly eaten for the camera and the delight of the viewers. This is as contemptible a practice as cock fighting, and everyone at the BBC should have to spend some time in prison!
GregoryTheGr8ster Are u Serious?
I did :(
I like how much personality the Mantis had, looking around, being self-aware, and doing some kung-fu poses. Sadly it died too soon. It could of became a wise person.
or a famous film star ⭐️
Or Bruce Lee 2.0 😢
- Mom, are you pround of me?
- NO! * chomping sounds *
lmfaoooo
The end of the video made me realize that being a human and going to work everyday isn't so bad after all
True. Even though I don't like Joe he never ate my face
@@halodave not yet anyway 😉
COIN COLLECTING FUN
hey thank you for this comment. It put things in perspective for me.
Imagine a life when we're not on top of the food chain...
What does it say about our lifes that we have to dig this deep to find solace.
The spider literally seen the bigger mantis in the background and that's why he walked away! 😂🤣😂🤣🤣
ADF 10 😂 true
Hahahaha
He saw the camera man
But the big mantis is kinda harsh lolz
@@vincenttorrefranca3051 the camera man is probably 500 meter away dumbass
2:26 The spider legit looks up at the threat looming up ahead. Contemplating whether this mantis is worth the trouble or not. God, I love that. It's so subtle that when I first watched this I had no idea there might be something bigger to worry about.
It's crazy how it doesn't dawn on your at the time that the spider follows this thing, almost blatantly. For it to suddenly have a change of heart seems odd over a Kung fu stance when the spider has superior eye-sight. Then, it hits you. 'Oh, it saw that big MFer behind the orange one'.
The spider wasn't scared of his bluff, but because he saw that big one coming. After all he got amazing eyesight, he's seeing the future.
Praying mantis trying to look bigger
Spider: dude I saw you 30 seconds ago.......
It works on humans.
I can't say for you specifically but there is good chance it'd work on you..being a human and all.
"looking bigger" is the phrase, it's both literal and figurative. perhaps, 'more than you are' is more accurate.
@@chrisallum9044 I like to have a buddy run up behind me and stay hidden except for his arms so i look like Goro off of mortal kombat. That usually diffuses any fight that I get into.
Spider: Shit! Adult mantis! I’m outa here!
Baby mantis: Yeah, get lost! Wait, what?
thatkyleguy 1>> Spiders have bad memories.
Init man got shook bruvaaaaaa 😂😂

"Indeed ... but my even bigger mantis style is better than your mantis style." CRUNCH!!!

What nature programs will be worth watching if David Attenborough retires/passes away? He is legendary. He has an uncanny ability to immerse you wholly in whatever subject he speaks of.
In Russia we have a nature program legend too. Nikolai Drozdov. Just listen to his voice, you won't be disappointed
AI generated David Attenborough documentaries?
@@BigWarthog Britain's David and Russia's Nicolai....timeless classics indeed
The quality of the film is impressive; such detail in the close-ups.
The creature at the end seems to have evolved to appear like a flower in order to trick it's prey by hiding in plain sight. Fascinating piece of film. Thanks for uploading.
Plot twist: The spider was actually trying to warn the Kung Fu mantis about the Orchid Mantis.
LOL
@@killua909 I'm deAD
Imagine the spider being like “hey man you shouldn’t go that way there is a big predator over there oh shit he is pulling out his kung fu moves on me I better get out of here”
Plot twist: The Spider was trying to contact the mantis about his extended car warranty.
They're both Orchid mantis
That ending was just so random I couldn't help but laugh
THAT JUMPED ME...
Yeah, it was quite a jumpscare😂😂
yh same
I know right.
B same
2:23 that shot literally looks like a fight standoff this cameraman is a legend
This video was better than most movies i've seen in years
NOOOO THAT END GOT ME SO BADDD
:/
My heart just ex- and imploded at the same time.
...then it broke. :.f
Sebastian Michaelis me too
Sebastian Michaelis OMG me too! I almost fell out of my chair!
Sebastian Michaelis thx you helped me out
2:45 Spider; "Duuuude, what is *that* behind you"
Mantis; "I'm not falling for that trick"
LOL
haha
KKKKKKKKK

Kung Fu Mantis: You can't defeat me
Jumping Spider: I know, but she can
**AN ORCHID MANTIS APPEARS**
Why is it a "she"
@@iSyriux Female mantis eats male mantis
@@iSyriux also female bigger than males
@@iSyriux Female mantis’s are way bigger than the males, and are also different colors (in the case of the orchid mantis, which was shown at the end here, the males are mostly brown, whereas the females are mostly white or white and pink)
@@goomba8170MRAS: *TRIGGERED*
I'm not sure which is more fascinating- the insects themselves or the fact that the photographers can capture such amazing and detailed footage.
The reason spider left its because he saw that big ass white mantis LOL

suprise butt*** ,says the senpai xD
ikr. its so sad, i thought for a sec' that bugs had a parent-child relationship. i guess not.
Forget David, the real actual talent here is whoever took this phenomenal footage. I would love to have that job.
"A Mantis is born with exceptional eyesight, But the Spider's is even better."
That's cool line right there.
in the end, BBC films camera people film better than an actual Hollywood movie
BBC filmmakers jizz all over Hollywood filmmakers
It´s because Hollywood producers order the camera crews to do the shaky cams or underlightning or overlightning scenes because they think its cool and artistic but it´s just dump and autistic.
true that
Kemal Sunal that rhymed
hrpang And keep the damn camera still
Kung Fu Mantis: Master Shifu, I failed to kill Lucas the spider.
Orchid Mantis: _"So you have chosen... Death."_
3:30
Hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 lol so funny
Radian 💀💀💀
So much goes on in the bug world we have NO clue about 😂😂😂
HHAHAHAHAHAA
that moment where the mantis "bluffs" plays out exactly like a cartoon scene lmao, it acts all tough and thinks it scared off the spider but in reality it was the bigger guy behind him
The way the mantis moves and turns its head is just so lifely.
I know it sounds dumb but its still such a beautiful animal.
aw man, and i thought that orchid mantis was its sensei :(
oh god me too;-;
same '-'
looks lik he failed.
Maybe he is, but the smaller mantis were very talented and the orchid mantis know that once its student surpassed him, the student will slay its sensei so he will be the strongest. Luckily, the orchid mantis saw this day coming, it only taught the student 98 of its secret deadly technique, and reserved the last one for its student.
AHAHAHAHAHA
He passed the intimidation check, but lord did he fail his perception check
Bacon and Eggs your profile picture made me hungry 💀 and then I realized I haven’t eaten in 2 days cause of Quarantine so thanks my man 😂
Kung Fu was in love. Big Boi was in hunger. Hunger wins.
ABC. XYZ. Glad it helped you remember your basic human necessities
If you don't invest points in your perception, you're gonna have a bad time.
Can't blame him; never thought he'd be eaten by a 'flower'.
Spider run because he saw the bigger orchids mantis,and the baby mantis didn't.
The spider didn’t catch up to eat him... he was catching up to reach him about his cars extended warranty
"Mantids will eat anything that moves, including other mantids."
In the business, this is known as foreshadowing.
Its mantis
@@random6579 pretty sure it's mantids, you can refer to mantises as mantids since their family name is mantidae.

Mantids? First time hearing that, That's different than mantis?

Its called food chain
Kung Fu Mantis : “Ka…Me…Ha…Me…”
Jumping Spider : “I quit, you win.”
*post fight press conference*
Jumping Spider : “I know he probably couldn’t, but I wasn’t going to take the chance and find out.”
Love how the spider stared at the mantis after it showed its skill like 'bro the heck I'm watching' 😂
"Master, I've outrun the Jumping Spider!"
"Good, good. Now onto the next lession. DODGE THIS!"

Spider: Aight Imma head out
Mantis: Why do I still hear boss music?
Giant Mantis: Im bouta end this man’s whole career
What if the bigger mantis was the real reason the spider left?
@@OmniscientWarrior chances are it was. 🤣
This is a highly appropriate use of memes.
@@Dank_Varley agreed
3 memes in one that's fucking impressive
Instead of Mantis, it’s now, Mant’was.

Please, see yourself out.
Don't know if i should laugh or shoot myself with a 12 gauge
Mant is gone.
Harvard graduates want to know your location.
Man that whole thing was a roller coaster of emotions, and don't even get me started on the ending.
When your bullying a kid but an actual bully comes along.
That ending though.
Smaller Mantis: "You're going to eat me, aren't you?"
Bigger Mantis: "Yeah, probs."
Smaller Mantis: "Cool... So, like, gonna do that at any point in the near future?"
Bigger Mantis: "Yeah, probs."
Smaller Mantis: "Alright. Cool, cool..."
(...)
Smaller Mantis: "So how long are we go-"

kek
Too bad someone didnt voice over that. I would watch it for a while then
:'^(
thats funny
Дэвид forgot one part the sad face😔
"Man, I want to be just as big as you when I gr-"
"No"
GOOD ONE
The spider tried to reach the mantis about the extended warranty but saw the orchid mantis behind him and said fluff this I'm not getting paid enough for this crap!!
The camera work and editing are extraordinary! Well done, BBC Earth!
Imagine surviving a spider to be eaten by ur own species.. That really sucks
Metaphorically speaking, people do that as well.
Watch out even humans resort to cannibalism.
I'd prefer being eaten by my own species rather than getting killed by a spider. Where my arachnophobia people at? 👌
grumpmutt count me as one. I dont know which is worse, being killed by a skyrim giant frostbite spider or by hundreds of smaller spiders. Oh what about being killed by hundreds of giant frostbite spiders. Yeah ill say that ones the worst.
It would have made Return of the Kings ending a bit more scarring
That ending hit me harder than infinity war
Good one 😂
LOL XD
haha
lol
Good one XD
Wow. Did not see that coming. Stunning photography. RIP little guy.
i am totally amazed by the cinemetography with the perspective of those insects and also with a person who is describing every single move of insects...
i love how he didn't even try that kung fu shit on the bigger guy
Because it's not a fight it's a suicide lv 5 vs lv 50 it's the same as Bakugo tried to crush all might

This is one of my favorite pieces of film, storytelling, and art ever. I'm not even kidding. I watch it often and send it to people all the time. It captures the spirit of this amazing being wonderfully, both why I adore them and why they are so deliciously scary--but I repeat myself. If you are here because you're considering keeping one as a pet, do it. It's been incredibly rewarding in so many ways, and if you're an eighties kid who still wants a friend that's an alien-faery-centaur-interdimensional oddity, THIS. You have arrived at your destination.
The plot twist is, that jumping spider doesnt want to eat you, he came to save your life little one…
I have 3 things to say.
1. This is like a horror movie.
2. The camera shots are phenomenal.
3. The narrator and narration is perfect.

Kung fu mantis entered by accident a level 140 dungeon while trying to avoid a level 5 spider.

I mean, jumping spiders are actually pretty badass. There is a specific species of them that flat out hunts larger spiders, for example.
Best caption of all time, perfect
When you try to escape a enemy grunt but accidentally enter the final bosses dungeons
Piranha Plant yeah they’re so smart I think the one ur talking about is the one that plucks the web to bait the blind spider down and then eats it from there or comes down from a branch like mission and impossible Nd attacks it so it doesn’t get caught by the spiders fangs
When you thought your kung Fu was superior but there's a damn wizard behind you
Sheesh, it's 2024 and I'm amazed at the quality of this and how it held my attention...great job
Hey, Mister, when I grow up I'm gonna be like you

Did you say something?

I was like well damn thats messed up.
NOPE.
This four-minute video was packed with more personable characters, action, drama, and emotion than most of the movies I have seen in the last 10 years.
It was better than all 3 star wars sequels, combined. :D
I see you have Netflix too!
probably should watch better movies then
It also has better plot twist than GoT
Or any series *AHEM Game of Thrones AHEM*
Mantis:- go away I'm big
Spider:- saw a bigger mantis behind him go away

That one give me inspiration lol
Why is nobody talking about how the camera shots are so good it makes everything look fake. Like holy shit that’s crazy
exactly. shit looks super fake
They just give cameras to bugs and pay them in sugar.
They are building small dioramas, so it is easy to put a good light there for quality shots. Also it's way easier to just put bugs here instead of searching for them in the wild.
@@milkyhuman5644 I mean....dont they STILL have to search for these bugs in the wild?? Where the hell else would they find them at? Dont begin to tell me that they have 1 of EVERY insect just readily available to shoot episodes like this
@@elchico6322 yeah but my point is- entomologist STILL have to go out in to the wild, in order to obtain all the countless species of insects, arachnids, reptiles, etc....man, they are still discovering new species of insects EVERY day that we speak. So let's not act like its tooooooo far fetched for them to shoot in the wild.
I dont disagree about a lot of this being "staged" but don't be naive to think they don't EVER get natural shots while in the wild.

It reminded me of ice age 3
