Staring Mantises

German insect enthusiast and breeder Adrian Kozakiewicz of Insecthaus captured amusing footage of two really beautiful African spiny flower mantises facing off against each other in a brief staring contest. One mantis had proudly raised wings, while the other started off that way but lowered them as the visual confrontation continued.
