  1. Mantis in A with some dumb flies instead of low S? You're fucking nuts. First time I've ever disagreed with a list.
    Mantis are in the same tier as some shit fly, that had almost a 5 second spit then you moved on.
    What the fuck…. Atleast top of A tier…. They beat dragonflys every day of the week all they can doo is fly well and catch. ….. What the fuck ?

  2. Great video. Was really anticipating this one. I suspected the hymenopterans would take top spot, and it seems my hunch was right.

    I wonder what spot the mayflies, caddisflies, snakeflies, scorpionflies, stoneflies, mantisflies and dobsonflies would take. As well as the parasite classes like louse and flea. This really is just scratching the surface, but it was a great crash course into insect orders and their general abilities and advantages. Thanks for making this!

  3. When you talked about the Neuroptera Build I finally understood the Flygon Evolition line from Pokemon.
    They start with Trapinch which has a high Base Attack stat of 100, is one of the slowest Pokemon in the Game with a base speed stat of 10 and the ability Arena Trap to trap in Pokemon that touch the ground (which equals the traits of the antlion). That later evolves into Vibrava which has less Attack than Trapinch (which always confused me). In the end of the Evolution Flygon also gains the movement speed (of 100) that Lacewings have.

  4. The spider masquerading as an ant at 26:30 literally did the thing in TV shows where somebody is dead or knocked out but the protagonist has to use them as a disguise or pretend that they are alive. I hope that somebody else saw it
