THE BADASS BUG BRACKET

ROUND 2, BRACKET 7

Devil's Flower Mantis (Idolomantis diabolica) vs Synagris Proserpina

Devil's Flower Mantis propaganda: Looks cool as hell overall but especially SICK with it's threat display! Also its about 10-13 cm long (3.9-5.1 inches), so its a pretty damn big bug!!! Look up more pics of them they always look sick as hell

Synagris Proserpina propaganda: Is this wasp a total nobody? no common name, not even a wikipedia page, just a few images on inaturalist and the sort? yes! but tell me it doesnt look AWESOME. it looks like a LITTLE DEVIL. it literally looks like a cartoon demon to me its the devil from the bible. i dont know anything about it as a species, but i am enamored and delighted by its shapes. plus, those huge horns are unique to its genus, so its special little dude. when have you seen a wasp with horns before? NEVER I BET.
