Praying Mantis are amazing pets

 

easily my favourite insect, as far as this thread goes, Scorpion, both the invertebrate & the MK character FTW.

 

btw, The Weta is the most lethal bug in the entire world. it would OWN any bug the rest of you can come up with, it would literally eat their ****ing face. i've seen it. i used to watch japanese bug fights. they are basically insect MMA.

I don't know what is more astonishing, that there are Japanese bug fights or that I'm not actually astonished that there are Japanese bug fights.

It is much more difficult for the scorpion to sting the black widow than it is for the black widow to sting the scorpion.

 

But I think this is a trick question: I am going to take a wild guess and say these insects are imune to neuro toxins. If that is the case, the scorpion wins.. hands down.

Damn it i just watched a Jap bug fight where a Weta owned a Camel Spider' date=' Damn it.. Weta has the belt[/quote']

 

yeah man, glad you found it, i didn't even have to take the time to look it up.

 

the weta apparantly can survive under water for days, its from the age of the dinosaurs and can also survive boiling water

 

when i read the thread & saw the camel spider, i almost specifically remembered the video from years ago of a weta eating the entire face, head, then body of a camel spider.

 

Weta will not be defeated by any invertebrate out there. Point blank period.

here is the quote "Any species surviving for such a very long time, outliving dinosaurs and making it through ice ages, has to be pretty tough.

 

When turn of the 20th century naturalist Sir Walter Buller needed dead weta for his collection, he kept one under water for four days. Incredibly, it kept living, as did another that was dropped in near boiling water. OUCH! It is known that weta can survive in freezing climate conditions, despite their lack of an antifreeze agent that other animals have to tolerate cold."

 

the second paragraph is invertabrate legend, and proven fact. like you said bug champ GOAT, the Weta.

Ok well it appears there is no single answer to the poll.

 

Someone posted a vid of a scorpion defeating a black widow in a plastic bowl.

 

When vacationing I saw a black widow kill a scorpion "in the wild".

 

The difference was "in the wild" the black widow could use its web.

 

The scorpion was in the web and the black widow hoisted it into the air by pulling its web off the ground and sticking it to the side of the building.

 

It then would crawl along its web toward the scorpion. The scorpion would have to work very hard to get it's tail in strike position, because it had to pull against the part of the web that was all stuck to its tail. The black widow just waited until the scorpion tired out, and was stretched flat by the web. It then attacked the scorpion's head. When the scorpion got enough strength back to pull its tail into attack position, the black widow just backed away to a safe distance and waited for the scorpion to tire out again... and then immediately went back to attacking its head. This went on for about 10 to 15 minutes. In the end, the black widow won and hauled the scorpion away.

 

Then Chuck Norris showed up, I was one of the lucky few to get out alive. :)

Nothing can touch a Weta at its size though. Those things are savage.[/quote']

 

Looks like they can just cut through whatever is in front of them with the bolt-cutters they have on the front of their face.

what about a Giant Hornet vs a Weta?

 

hornet can fly and its sting can dissolve flesh also its mandibles are pretty ruthless cutting machines

 

this giant hornet bangs out this praying mantis with ease

probably the best case scenario for competition against the weta is the giant japanese hornet. good call. the weta are very fast & voracious, but the death from above approach gives the hornet the best chance out of most other insects i'd say, however if one mandible of the weta gets a hold of the hornet, its over, in a particularly gruesome fashion

 

remember the weta can survive boiling water, idk if the hornet sting can have much effect on it, even if it lands on the wetas back & the weta cannot initially shake it
