why do they feel the need to put weird and strange growl and eating sound effects that the insects do not make

Question : Who survived? Answer: KatyDID....and so did the pigs and hyenas grunting in the background along with the trumpeting elephants and growling tigers

"... Equally big..." Man are you blind?

7:58 that sound effect kill me

The fake noises kill me.

even match up? put a bigger mantis in there and see what happens.

Katydid: It's over, Mantis. I have the high ground Mantis: You underestimate my power ...

Two Heavyweights. Evenly matched. And when they throw down It will a be a championship fight... To the DEATH. Woahhhhh most epic line I've ever heard!

6:46-was that an elephant noise? lol

enough with the beast like growls.. it's a mantis, not a tiger 😂😂😂

NEXT UP 🎵, Narrator vs Katydid.... Tbc..

The sound effects in this cracked me up

I though Mantis was gonna kick ass

You can say what you want, but size almost always matters. If it wasn't a Baby mantis like in this vid, the mantis would've won. Imagine a Giant Rainforest Mantis against that Katydid...no competition

1:56 Lynx Spider: *squeals* Green Praying Mantis: Gotcha, spiny legged spider. You got nowhere to go.

Wow, it is very rare for a mantis to end up on the losing end.

I remember one summer I caught a mantis and put a katydid in the tank with it . I had know idea at the time that the katydid was aggressive. The katydid attached the mantis and it was like wrestle mania .They slung each other from one end of the tank to the other .However the mantis won the battle .

listen to the line at the end: "the loser never gets up." if you listen closely, he sounds like a transformer

The narrator did so good announcing this fight I almost put this video on my 4K big screen

7:58 LMFAOOO, did they HAVE to add that little whimper??

"The mantis eats through the lynx spider's legs" Kinky af

Child: Mommy! I need GrassHoppers to feed my Mantis! Mother: Okay, I'll go get some. *Mistakenly buy a Preadatory Katydid from the local pet shop* Mommy: here ya are: Child: Thanks! *Le Next Day* Child: MOMMY! GRASSHOPPER IS EATING MANTIE!!!!

The sound effects are everything 😂😂😂😂

Who in here killed the Mantis? Katy-did.

What's with the stupid squealing sound effects?

Why is it that literally every battle with a mantis is extremely disproportionate I mean either the mantis towers over its opponent and devours it in like 1/50th of a second or its against something twice its size and its like "oh the mantis fearlessly strikes but it made a mistake so its dead" like seriously the mantis has only ever won three times and one was against a leaf bug I mean can we please have at least one fair mantis fight were both opponents are the same size? (I am now going to list specifics for every mantis battle as evidence) Times the Mantis Won: Lichen Bark Mantis Vs. Rock Spider (Mantis:2 inches Rock Spider:1 1/2 inches) Moss Mantis Vs. Jungle Tiger Beetle (Mantis:3 inches Jungle Tiger Beetle: 1 inch) Giant Rainforest Mantis Vs. Spiny Leaf Insect (Unspecified sizes but they looked similar, however the spiny leaf insect is a herbivore so I mean come on) Times the Mantis Lost: Predatory Katydid Vs. Green Praying Mantis (Unspecified sizes but the katydid was visibly larger) Brazilian Wandering Spider Vs. Hooded Mantis (Brazilian Wandering Spider:5 inches Hooded Mantis: 4 inches) House Centipede Vs. Swift Tree Mantis (Unspecified sizes but the house centipede is clearly at least twice the size of the mantis) Grey Tree Runner Mantis Vs. Lichen Huntsman Spider (Unspecified sizes but the Lichen Huntsman is visibly larger than the mantis) Bronzed Huntsman Spider Vs. Slender Necked Mantis (Bronzed Huntsman Spider:4 inches Slender Necked Mantis:2 inches) Looking at all these battles you can clearly see that the mantis has never been in a battle that is the same size, and the only times it was at all close in size was the Lichen Bark Vs. Rock Spider and the Brazilian Wandering Spider Vs. Hooded Mantis but even still 1 1/2 inches is only 75% of 2 inches and 4 inches is only 80% of 5 inches so it really is quite disproportionate. The mantis really should be in a video with a bug that is the same size. (Also I am going to link all the videos below so that you can see when I say visibly larger you can see that I am not lying and not just using my opinion as evidence). Giant Rainforest Mantis Vs.

Mantis: i am the ultimate killer bug Kalydid: hold my beer

Saw a katydid in my living room when I had a pet praying Mantis the match up was exactly the same as shown here so as you could tell my mantis could only finish half of the katydids body before she became full. Never knew my mantis would've been in danger.

I like to imagine the Katydid started life as a herbivore but spent years of other insects shouting "KATY DID WHAT" until it snapped and started eating them all.

Never thought I'd see a katydid win a fight on this show

"Fear not the dark my friend, and let the feast begin"

As much as I love David Attenborough this guy is an equally good narrator. Especially that voice in the last 30 seconds. Great video!

At last, a fair fight for a katydid.

Wow that was a surprise I didn't expect the mantis to lose...

I am happy to be human. Imagine this happens to us, while we are walking, suddenly somebody eats us.

They sure love putting in a lot of special effects in this show.

This makes mad none of the bugs I root for win ever.

I remember as a child I caught two humongous Pray Mantises, each about 4-5 inches long! God I loved them

I think this is the only time a Katydid has actually won a fight!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE CHEWING SOUNDS 😂😂😂😂👌

Quit getting riled up about the sound effects. The show is literally named, "Monster Bug Wars," so obviously they're going to make the arthropods seem as much like beasts as they possibly can. If you don't like it, you can go and watch "Life in the undergrowth."

Mom: who spilled water on the floor. Me: KATYDID

Although a larger mantis wouldve won most likely, the way that grasshopper jumped and landed on top of the mantis head was badass. Lighting fast.

15:00 I love the rock and roll 🎸 and the special effects noises when the bugs attack each other and the narrator with the deep voice he really loves his job

stop that sound effects im cringing

Narrator:the green praying mantis is invisible. Big bad boot:hold my beer.

Incredible Katydid is as quick as a blink of an eye took the life of the Mantis easily on second round. Very very impressed ! 🦗

Man, I didn't even know katydids could do such stuff like this. My new fav insect!

This is the best fight I’ve ever seen I love this

There's a bit of misrepresentation here, since we're not looking at bugs "fighting" the way its described in the show, but the pageantry really dresses up this hunting footage pretty well, really makes this one of the best bug shows to watch on youtube. Please, please try to post something with a Weta or a Jerusalem Cricket, they're like grasshoppers from hell!

I have been watching these Bug wars episode for the last few weeks..I must say these are just AMAZING!!!... i do agree there are some some mismatch-Predator vs prey ..but most of the episodes are very entertaining and very informative too. Some of the creatures we seen on this channel i never heard before..I thought Katytids very vegeterian lol

Forget what that MantIS you shoulda seen what KatyDID!

notice the antenna goes rigid before the katydid attacks, I wonder if it uses those lines on its eyes for sights when ranging. nature is badass!

The narrator has a great voice and dramatic inflections. The katydid had considerably more body mass, with the big, powerful, armored head and mandibles. From the beginning, I couldn't see the mantis being able to lock it down, not to mention the katydid's walking and hopping legs were larger than the mantis's grabbing legs. Not much chance for this mantis.

I love this narrator's epic commentary and putdowns on the loser lmaoo

It's amazing the way you all capture these battles between these insects. Awesome photography 😊👍

I LOVE this fights and your channel xD new sub

they make it like these bugs are godzillas screeching and roaring. nice video tho 👍

When your head fits comfortably inside the mouth of a nearby predator, it’s probably best to move on.

Imagine how terrifying a preying mantis would be if it were as big as a dog

Whoever does the sound effects for this show deserves as many Emmys as they can carry.

1:51 I think the Mantis will win but only if it's larger that the Katydid. 6:37 Oh wow, they're about the same size. I think the Mantis has the advantage with the flexibility and lethal grip but I sincerely hope it doesn't get anywhere near the mouth of that Katydid. 8:07 DAMN THAT KATYDID'S MOUTH!

I love the sound effects, omg, far out! it only adds more realism to the whole scenario lol

7:10 he's super fast. I even played it in slow motion and still barely caught that attack...

This is like Bloodsport vs Peacemaker. Evenly matched in almost every way.

The sound effects were a bit excessive...

0:06 Yeah, like pretty much any fight where something lands in a spider's web or involves antS vs something other than other ants, rather than AN ant.

The katydid was twice the size of the mantis. Good on the mantis for causing enough bother to earn a clean kill, rather than the "eat from the bottom up" technique that insectoid hunters seem to favor.

Sometimes I see these videos more like a "Big, Strong Predator vs Prey" recordings more than actual fights. This time was no exception, though I first imagined it, just like the narrator said, upside down. I really didn't expected the Katydid to win until I got to know a little more about him and then realize he was, in fact, the mightier predator in this case.

Did anyone else think of a celery stick as the Katydid was eating the mantis 😂😋

Wow..! A katydid won a bugwar?! Didn't know that was possible

"Insects don't have politics. They're very brutal. No compassion. No compromise. We can't trust the insect." ---From David Cronenberg's 'The Fly'

Those noises are totally added in

Super threatening “It looks like a leaf”

Finally, the Katydid actually won for once

2 doctorates commenting on insects, massive sound effects, can't we get celebrity voice overs for the insects? Tom Hanks, "i got ya, now i'm gonna eat ya!"

cmon that wasnt a fair fight!

The praying mantis is my favorite insect of all time, well my only favorite insect, when I was little I put the praying mantis in the jar and poke holes on top of the lid, and I fed it crickets flies and grasshoppers. I love to watch it eat. That Was the good ole days.🤗

The sound effects are hysterical! 😂

Holy crap! A katydid actually won something

The sound effects on these videos are so extra.... y'all need to chill out

There are bigger mantises out there that share the same habitat as Hexacentrus sp, that can easily take on the katydid. But balloon winged katydids are great predators.

6:24, 7:07 The boxing sound effects had me in stitches 😂😂😂

Love all the fighter analogies

Goddamn it!!! Are the squeals needed?? Lol

YES!!!! YES!!!! THE KATYDID FINALLY WON SOMETHING!!!! I'm gonna faint.

If only I have the same voice as you sir. I would never have a boring day, even just sitting outside watching nature would be epic. And life will be on a whole new cinematic trailer level. (Everyday or every time I speak)

One of the best monster bug wars fight I ever seen the. Mantes came out swinging

HEYYY! Who ate my precious Praying Mantis??!!.......KATY DID! grrrrrrrrr.

EVENLY MATCHED?! WHAT THE? You can already see the size comparison thru their heads?! Gosh. Poor mantis. I hope they chose a bigger mantis. That would be a fair fight, nevertheless it was awesome💗

The sound effects have me dying over here lmaoo

The guy in charge of the sound effects was going insane.

The mantis seems to be very smart in my experience because it recognizes it's surroundings. Not just that but I've seen some big ones.

BS match up, that's a baby mantis zzz

The Ninja vs The Brute. Nice touch.

Never knew they made all this sound. Including the cartoon jump sound effect. Impressive

That mantis is small.

They said they were equally sized but actually in the fight you can see the Katydid was quite a bit larger than the mantis.

These is what i was waiting for!!!

Damn, nature has suprises😅😂
