My fascination with these critters is so grand that i'm going to be giving a speech on them!!

I will mainly talk about the smashing type

probably focusing on the peacock mantis.

I want to show pictures and videos as part of the presentation but the class doesn't have internet access so the only way I will be able to do that is by bringing in a cd. Can yall guide me as to where to look for videos that i can download so i can show a demonstration of the mantis shrimp in action? I think the class will love it!

Try you tube there are some from some of the RC users. You could also just Google{ Mantis shrimp videos}.
Good luck with your presentation.

would you like a vid of my G. smithii smashng up a small crab? pm me if you want.

here is my all time favourite stomato-movie. this one is Dr. Roy's, so i imagine you would have to get his personal permission to use it... and he may have a downloadable copy of it somewhere too? i dunno. here's the link at any rate:
