Seen that before, still very cool though Just been hearing about how praying mantis' have been eating birds caught in ringing traps. They climb up the net and start eating the birds while still alive

Hmm now I'd have gone for Ridley Scotts Aliens

Either way, no one super-size a praying mantis

Well, this is a cute ickle baby alien bursting out of its human host...



Here is one of them that really likes that cap...



Oh here's an adult alien! It could use that nice big tail to spear the ickle birdies like the mantis does with its arms...



And here is a gharial...



Er, yeah I'm not entirely sure what that has to do with Ridley Scotts Aliens but it came up in the search

I love the first two Alien films! The other two I pretend don't exist I'm in denial that they were ever made
