On a similar note...stomatopods are just begging to be "ripped apart" and "totally misunderstood" by hollywood is just a mere matter of time, so so so many movies are out there about a viscious "creature" one of the latest was that "Piranhas" movie.
Albeit most of these movies are just fan flicks targetted at a very specific audience and more often then not, straight to DVD release and not sent to the cinemas either way.........
The stomatopods would make a fine horror/thriller movie, perhaps a scientist is breeding them in a way to make them larger and even more intelligent, then they become to intelligent and brake out of the laboratory to wreak havoc on the world!
I can imagine the "trailer" for the movie, as army soldiers try and defend some bridge that leads to a city as the stomatopods rush forward towards them with the larger smashers (o.scyllarus) clearing the way by smashing through the barricades/tanks etc. while the smaller spearers pick off the low flying helicopters, then as the trailer nears its end a HUGE L.maculata breaches the water below the bridge ripping the entire bridge down into the ocean, then the trailer ends.
Rise of the planet of the Stomatopods!
:lolspin::lolspin::lolspin::lolspin::lolspin::lolspin:
either way....they possess many traits that most film makers need to give to there creatures to make them more fearsome / terrifying whilst the stomatopod already has it all, just laking in size.
Never remembered Spears being there.
