How come in real life, regular sports and even bug fights the coolest are always big losers? Oh well mantises (or mantes), you've got one fan at least. Go Browns.

The Mantis vs Hornet fight's a pretty good one. A lot of back and forth action in that one. Everytime the Mantis goes in for the clinch and you think he's got the Hornet, the Hornet finds away finds a way to break free and go on the offensive.

I'm sure I would think this was cruel if I didn't already think that anything with more than four legs should be dead.

I hope the winner gets its very own can of Raid.

I don't like bugs, but I don't think this is any more acceptable than dog fighting or cock fighting. It's wrong to pit lower order life forms against each other for our own amusement. Period.

I don't. I like bloodsport, between arachnids and insects that is.
