Mantis videos?

[Skuzzlebutt]

Anyone know where some mantis shrimp videos can be found? Or some good pictures of there smasher thinggys?

Another thing is my freind lives in tampa about 10 min from clearwater beach. Anyhow we went to this island called honeymoon island to go sharking and these mantis shrimp are "known" to hid in TBS liverock. So the chances are good to find mantis shrimp in this area? Friggin nasty imagin swimming and stepping on one of those?

There is a new video coming out this spring tht shows the strike of Odontodactylus scyllarus in super slowmotion (up to 6,000 frames per second) color. It is some of the most dramatic footage I have ever seen of a stomatopod strike. It will air Feb. 4 in the U.K. on BBC. I don't have a date for when it will show up in the U.S.

whys it take so long to come out. i could film an hour long movie at my house and upload it and edit it and have it compressed for use online in like 5 hours. Thats odd. Maybe there trying to get a lot of footage
