    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            That was quite amazing. The guy had good chopstick skills to keep from hurting the mantis. LOL

              I showed this to Mrs. George. She asked how the videographer knew that there was a parasite in the mantis.

                Some follow up tweet says most praying mantises are infected by worms, so chances are good that when one captures a mantis, it is infected with worms already. If the videographer tries a mantis and gets no worm, he will just move on to another mantis anyway.

                Also found this interesting video of another species of mantis, the Orchid Mantis:
