Narrator: ln a bug's world,
life is always in the balance.

Around every corner,
super-strength assassins...

They are just incredibly fast
with enormous force.

They have absolutely
insatiable appetite.

Narrator: Every day
these battles are waged,

lt's one of the rainforest's
most bizarre citizens...

...a creature so strange,
it could be from another world.

ln the bug world,
spiny leaf insects are giants,

Spiny leaf insect
wants to avoid a fight.

lts first defense is the fact
that it looks like a leaf.

lf a predator does
get past the camouflage

it'll then rely on its behavior
to try to scare off a predator

by making itself look big
and mean and horrible,

like some sort of alien predator
from another planet.

Narrator: Nature often saves
scariness for the vegetarians.

You see, they need to deter
their predators

Although it looks like
some kind of battle bot,

lts heavy armor and razor spikes
are for defense --

And if a predator
does try to take a bite,

The spiny leaf insect
also keeps a secret weapon.

the spiny leaf insect will
resort to chemical warfare.

this colorless,
but extremely stinky, liquid

there's one creature
who's not so easily deterred.

Mantis need to eat all the time,
so they're very hungry.

Turns out that they're one
of the top rainforest predators.

Narrator: lt's the T. Rex
of the bug world.

With a powerful stance
and lethal forearms,

spikes, and lightning-fast
grappling hooks

Dr. Rayor:
The strike could happen anywhere

So this is like
1 /20 of a blink of an eye.

is they camouflage themselves
so their prey doesn't see them.

in this case,
our giant rainforest mantid

they just don't see the mantid
until it's simply too late.

Narrator:
This hapless grasshopper
never stood a chance.

There's one more thing about
the giant rainforest mantis.

Dr. Rayor: They're pretty good
at orienting their bites

toward the head
of whatever they've captured,

and essentially once you've
taken the head off of anything,

Narrator: The best defense
against the mantis

This spiny leaf insect is out
looking for a leafy meal...

Dr. Fry: The spiny leaf insect
is a browser.

Think of it basically
as the cow of the insect world.

Just spends most of the day
hanging out in the tree,

chewing on the leaves,
minding its own business.

Narrator:
The leaf insect has attracted
the attention of the mantis.

And when these two giants of the
rainforest come face-to-face...

Dr. Rayor: No predator wants to
be injured by its prey.
