I thought the poison would do the hoss in for sure. I am humbly incorrect.

29 seems like Scorpion is chilling while the Millipede is dying to venom, but then the Scorpion drops dead.

Tarantula owns in a minute for number 26 I think it is.


For being such a cool bug, the Praying Mantis gets its ass kicked in a lot of the videos.

I bet, like in the above video the strength and 'impenetrable' exoskeleton makes beetles the winners mostly. But I will go watch now!

Good thing I didnt bet on any of those fights, each insect I picked got dominated. I think the fighting is cool but would be better if they had a bigger cage staged with a habitat that would aid each insect.

Do they do anything special to make these bugs fight? Or is the natural reaction of them when another bug is right in front of them "KILL MAIM BURN!" ?

my best guess would be they starve them to the point where they will attack anything for food.

Looks like they flash a light, which seems to provoke them. In a few videos you see the bugs just completely ignoring each other. I'm sure they prod and poke the shit out of them and put them near each other, etc.

Some of the matches look biased against scorpions. As pointed out, The fight with the centepede and scorpion, The centepede looked to be having a slow death to the scorpions poison then a scene change the scorpion is dead, no idea how.

Then the beetle vs. the black scorpion in a wrestling type match, How is a scorpion going to wrestle a fucking beetle thats built for that type of fighting?
The scorpion got lucky and hit the Yabby in the eye which is the only reason it won that fight imo.

The giant hornet fucking rapes though.

Well, Centipedes are extremely poisonous, its poison just killed the scorpion much faster. The Centipede just got pretty much paralyzed in the area around the sting. Looks like centipede venom works a lot faster than scorpion venom.

Watched them all, my analysis:

-Giant Hornets rape pretty much everything unless they get caught with poison.
-Centipedes are like strikers in MMA, they have a chance to beat anything they face, they just have to land one punch (inject poison).
-Desert Stalkers are the best scorpions.
-Beetles are unbeatable, unless they are matched up against an opponent much bigger than them who can flip them over and expose their underside. Also, they can get fucked and get caught in the eye by poison if they are very unlucky.
-Whatever those crustaceans were, they suck. Doesn't seem like they are real killing machines, they probably just prey on much weaker animals. Ditto for mantises (mantii?).

The crawfish have the best showmanship out of all the fights. The one fight you have a crawfish butt slam the beetle from the ropes even though he loses in the end. Then you have a crawfish lifting weights before the match and get stung in the eye and as he is dying he throws out his claw like he is saying one last thing to his opponent before dying. Crawfish are my favorite fighters even if they never win a match they got HEART.

Uh, you mean the guy taking the pictures of the fight?

I'm amazed at how well the crawfish fight, considering they have no real strengths.

While i found those awesome, some of the fights were retarded. When they chose the tiny ass emerald beetle to fight what was it, a scorpion or a spider like 4x bigger, where the fuck is the challenge in that. And that was a fucking vegetarian beetle with no offensive weapons unlike the Killa Kan beetle which smashed the scorpion. God that fight had me rolling. Some of the sizes were way the hell off, its like oh, tiny ass centipede vs gigantic scorpion. Usually the bigger bug just rapes, except for the scorpion vs tarantula. The tarantula didn't want to fight at all and just slowly died to the poison.

And yeah, that hornet was fucking nasty as shit, the only thing that I think has any chance against it is the crusher beetle. If he could just grab the hornet and Hulk smash him like he did the scorpion he would take the easy win. Also praying mantises, while cool aren't fighters by any means. They use camo to let their prey *usually small shit like butterflies or moths or other flying insects* come to them. Then they just grab them by the wings and literally eat the faces. With any insect that is equal/larger in size than the mantis its claws are far too tiny to do anything and it has no venom/stinger so it pretty much has to just eat its prey which it obviously can't do when up against something poisonous.

On a random note, they had no camel spiders in there at all which is sad. Those are TERRIFIC fighters, ton of energy, no venom, they just beat the shit out of whatever they fight. Though they do have trouble vs venom if they aren't fighting a scorpion 6x their size their teeth can usually get the job done.

Overall A++, bring on the Hulk Beetle vs Giant Hornet.
