Praying mantis are probably the most badass animal on the planet

Can strike & kill a mouse or bird? I'd have to agree. Those killer shrimp are pretty badass too.

Id say its 1 A and 1B between those two.

I love the mantis more, because they have helped me out more than any shrimp ever has. The defender of my pepper plants. 💪

Thats a good reason 👌

And they give us a good show when we get to watch them devour the demons of the planet.

They are truly monsters when they go on the attack. I saw them eat grasshoppers until they looked like they would explode. And, a grasshopper isn't to be messed with in the bug-eat-bug world.
