The wasp is trying to protect his/her mate.

>>5002864 (OP)
A mantis is killing a wasp while another wasp kills it. It isn't very hard to understand

On the topic of how bugs eat, spiders have been perplexing me. They supposedly siphon the organs and blood out of their prey which makes sense because they mostly eat exoskeletals, but what happens when they feed on vertebrates? They lack an open circulatory system and have much tougher tissue that requires chewing, but theres still many cases of spiders feeding on vertebrates. How is this possible, and wouldn't the presence of a lot of "undrinkable" tissue make vertebrates unviable prey compared to the energy it would take to hunt them?

What can a mantis actually do? You just have to hug its back where its claws can't reach you

>>5003509
Use those big ass wings to attempt to flick it away. She literally just had to make any attempt to escape and it would have had a chance.

Bugs feel pain, I torture fruit flies in a lab all day to study the development of pain receptors

A mantis is probably instinctively wired to keep eating even when attacked because the animal doing that is usually the one it just grabbed.

Why women in the insect world are so brutal and violent but in the vertebrate world they are usually weak cunt.

>>5003756
Because bigger body mass means more eggs. Many egg laying species have bigger cuntier females, eagles, pythons, great whites. If you lay eggs size matters and aggressive predators will end up with big aggressive females. Sea bass like Clownfish and grouper even have the most dominant male switch sex to female

insects: females bear and care for eggs
mammals: females are eggs

Spiders inject digestive enzymes into their prey through the fangs and drink up the juice with a mouth between their chelicerae. The liquid goes up there via capillary action. In the case of vertebrates, same thing happens. They ingest the digestive enzymes, it creates a festering wound site between their fangs where all the dissolved fluids come out, and they drink it up until they’re full. If it’s something particularly small spiders will dissolve the entire body.

Things like me doubt that insects even feel any pain
No animal with pain receptors would have been able to tolerate getting chewed in half
