The battle demonstrates that fighting skills are more important than sheer size.
A common green rat snake (Scientific name: Ahaetulla prasina) accidentally encountered a much smaller opponent. However, due to overconfidence, the green rat snake paid a heavy price for underestimating this adversary.
The one who caused the green rat snake to “regret” was a small mantis. Despite its size, the mantis quickly clamped down on the snake’s head, taking control of the entire battle. ‘To defeat a snake, strike at the head‘ because this is the most vulnerable point of the green snake.
Although the green rat snake possesses mild venom, its most powerful weapon was rendered ineffective this time. The snake could only lie still and allow the mantis to feast on the flesh of its neck. This battle clearly shows that skill is far more important than size.
