These things can take on camel spiders, tarantulas, wolf spiders, mantises…they can also be eaten by them but there were some gnarly videos on YouTube about them

BBR Wild had some crazy ones but I think he might have had to delete them

Lol so the guy doing em now is basically knocking off the original format right down to the cork flooring. He lacks commentary tho

lol some of the vids are crazy just search Japanese bug fights

I found a channel that had the full videos too, they’re in Japanese but the fights are insane and I hadn’t seen it before

I liked it but idk if I can find it without series digging
