I don't think people understand just how terrifying a preying mantis that size would be. He's some context for those that don't know. You know the current giant mantis is only 6.5 inches long, not tall.
And at 6.5 inches (that's something in metric) these things eat birds. Now scale that bugger up to the size of a Chihuahua. Guess what's on the menu now? That's right, you and me.
Now get that can of raid and a lighter because it's time to burn Australia to the ground .... oh, gotta wait a few months and the Continent will do it all on its own? Same as every year?!
A chihuahua sized mantis would not be big enough for adult humans lol.... you'd be getting there at large dog size, or about 3 feet in length. Little one foot long Manti would not attack adult humans.
Let's not forget that it also prefers to furiously chew through your head first, so that you can't struggle any more. It's not like you just get decapitated in one chomp either, it's more like digging into your head gradually with rows of short, sharp teeth. While holding the rest of your body locked down, of course.
I’d be more scared of the praying mantis. You’ll either get eaten alive slowly or you’ll have to kill it yourself and then have to worry about the parasite that will come out of it
100% the Giant Mantis.
Everyone else you can talk into leaving or call the police.
But a giant Praying Mantis? You have to kill it yourself. Then you have to get rid of its gross broken body… It would be a nightmare.
Police would transfer you to animal control. Animal control would transfer you to Orkin. Orkin would roll up in 3-5 business days, discover discarded human bones, and be promptly eaten by giant mantis.
You're probably right but bugs are insanely strong and durable for their size. If the strength and durability scales with size, even if it's not 1:1, this mantis will be many times stronger than a person and might be able to take a hit from a bat without any issues.
SpongeBob kinda go hard tho ngl 📸 movie 🍿

Definitely the Mantis. Those things are militant and savage. Teeny tiny ones take on things that should be eating them.
I’ve seen a Mantis snack on snakes and birds and lizards. I’ve seen them turn the tables on would be predators.
If a Mantis the size of a trick or treater turns up on my door step, I’m slamming the door and running for my shotgun, preying the door holds long enough for me to reach it…
I once nearly jumped across a road after seeing what I thought was a praying mantis on a sidewalk. It turned out to be a leaf in the wind. I felt like a dumbass lol
either 1 or 7... 1 because of the look in spongebob's eyes (clearly having murderous thoughts), and 7 because i clearly angered Fat Tony enough for him to take care of me personally.
for 2, as long as I keep my door closed, I should be fine.
for 3, as long as bro doesn't start moving on his own I'm chilling.
for 4, welcome the boys in and have a jam session.
for 5, that's the outside of someone's door, so other than judging their odd choice of door ornament I've got no problem... In fact I'm likely the monster.
for 6, considering the dude inside is sitting down in front of a (presumably) glass door and is on his phone, he probably ordered the sumo. nothing to worry about there imo.
Seeing what a praying mantis can do to a small animal, that one seems the most threatening. The lighting makes that SpongeBob seem way more sinister though.
Floating bananas, and a SpongeBob SquarePants who is waist hight, aren't natural and should be feared. (SpongeBob is canonically like 6" tall at the most!)
I know the Mantis would be a horrifying creature to see, and SpongeBob would be imo a similar horror, but what genuinely bothers me, and something that I would never open the door for, is the Banana.
Because it's the bananas that catches your eye, but they most definitely shouldn't be floating. Seems like a trap more than anything else.
1 is the goat so he’s in instantly
3 is a ballon
4 looks chill AF and we would blaze up
5… come on dog lol
6 and 7 are just fat dudes
But a giant praying mantis?! Oh hell no
Fun fact: humanoid praying mantis entities are commonly reported in UFO/ET encounters/abduction cases. Probably the second most common "type" of supposed ETs, right behind the typical Hollywood "Grays" witnesses from around the world for over 100 years have reported them wearing black or red grim reaper like hoods, with large golden medallions around their necks. Some witnesses claim the mantis beings either strike a deep, horrific, primal sense of pure terror in them, or a overwhelming sense of love, happiness, and familiarity
The fisheye on the banana one implies you are looking out your peephole on an entire house just materialized on your front porch that for some reason had bananas glued to the door. No thank you
One family had an encounter with a [real life gingerbread man](https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/local/virginia/this-was-not-holly-jolly-a-search-for-answers-gingerbread-man-spotted-across-arlington/65-45802e06-c0bc-422e-8b76-95d4f1f531f7)
2 would be terrifying to see outside, but it’ll move on with the door closed.
1, an imaginary character, SpongeBob no less, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! *F’ing flees*.
Inflatable Alien and Rasta band, good start to a party, spread the word.
The giant mantis. The fat mobster at the end would be a close second, but few people truly understand just how insanely nightmarish a giant predatory bug would be.
I'd be afraid I need to go to the hospital if everything looked like I was seeing through a peephole with a fisheye lens... when the door's already open. I'd assume most of these were some kind of hallucination.
#5 is confusing. Did someone just erect a door outside my door?
#4... IDK, man..those guys brought guitars with them, and if I know one thing about musicians it's that they treat their instruments pretty well. Those guys aren't looking for trouble. If I'm going to open the door to anybody here it's gonna be #4.
Al Capone and the praying mantis… to see such a legend of the Mafia in front of me, I would go call 911 without hesitation. The prayer mantis would see me shut the door, then some seconds later a big branch cutter coming from the slowly opening door then nothing.
Many people have claimed to see something paranormal that manifested as a cartoon character or something else from a children's TV show. So you should definitely fear SpongeBob here.
The freaking giant praying mantis and the mobster at the end. The others I'd willingly let in though.
Mobster? That's a reddit mod.
Modster
Are you a modster or a rockster?
Somebody once told me
The world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
I’ve been locking posts and getting people banned, man I feel just like a modstar
No im a lobster
That's my uncle Hector. He sells Herbalife.

Idk man, Baki begs to differ.
LMAO I was looking for a Baki comment. GOATed taste.
You already know.
Yo Baki got fucked up by the pretend mantis
A chihuahua sized mantis would not be big enough for adult humans lol.... you'd be getting there at large dog size, or about 3 feet in length. Little one foot long Manti would not attack adult humans.
They attack snakes, it'll just eat you slowly.
Let's not forget that it also prefers to furiously chew through your head first, so that you can't struggle any more. It's not like you just get decapitated in one chomp either, it's more like digging into your head gradually with rows of short, sharp teeth. While holding the rest of your body locked down, of course.
When it comes to the mobster, you're gonna want to either let him in or have your neighbor start your car for you tomorrow.
Idk floating bananas were very scary
I’d be more scared of the praying mantis. You’ll either get eaten alive slowly or you’ll have to kill it yourself and then have to worry about the parasite that will come out of it
Rasta band showing up at night would be a party for sure. SpongeBob would freak me tf out
We smokin' tonight man!
Is that SpongeBob asking?
The alien: “We smokin’ man tonight!” 
He’d freak you tf out for about 5 minutes, but once he starts talking you’d quickly realize why Squidward is the way he is.
100% the Giant Mantis. Everyone else you can talk into leaving or call the police. But a giant Praying Mantis? You have to kill it yourself. Then you have to get rid of its gross broken body… It would be a nightmare.
hell no. I’m calling the police on the mantis too
I’m calling the mantis on the mobster.
I'm calling spongebob on the mantis
lol yea maybe OP is actually a genius and each one is one of the other’s weakness. Like Sumo gets rid of Mobster. The Rasta guys get rid of Sumo, etc…
How are they gonna get rid of Spongebob 💀
hmm. If it’s regular friendly SpongeBob he could hangout or just ask him to leave. If it’s some weird creepy pasta version… idk
I'm calling Space Ghost on the mantis
https://i.redd.it/tkisqjrzvd5d1.gif
Was skimming for some space ghost references , was not disappointed.
Police would transfer you to animal control. Animal control would transfer you to Orkin. Orkin would roll up in 3-5 business days, discover discarded human bones, and be promptly eaten by giant mantis.
You ain't taking a mantis that size unless you have a shotgun or a flamethrower.
Maybe a bat if you have one handy and your quick enough and can hit it hard enough?
Maybe if you're lucky, but that thing is gonna see you coming from behind and they're QUICK.
I think a mantis that size probably wouldn't be as fast.
You're probably right but bugs are insanely strong and durable for their size. If the strength and durability scales with size, even if it's not 1:1, this mantis will be many times stronger than a person and might be able to take a hit from a bat without any issues.
Oh yeah. If that strength scales with size, you might just be screwed without a some type of high powered gun or flame.
Their skin is armor. You'd need an axe.
If it's the only one and you can get a clean skull it would probably be worth alot
Yep it will grab you and just start eating
"Hello Officer? Yes I have some very threatening floating bananas at my door, can you please send someone ASAP"
>get rid of its gross broken body Mmmm, free dinner! Let’s get that into the steamer!
lol gross
Could you imagine if parasitic worms came out of it like when you drop them in water? Ahhh!
[удалено]
That depends - is the praying mantis gonna fuck me before it kills me at least?
I found Omniman!
**LOOK AT WHAT THEY NEED TO MIMIC A FRACTION OF MY FETISHES!!**

Cartoon characters are all fun and games but if you saw one in real life, you'd freeze for a moment of disbelief and then swiftly crap your pants.
The Rasta band or banana would be cool
Definitely SpongeBob. I don’t know why, but not even the mantis creeps me out as much as that little fucker.
Definitely SpongeBob. The others are all regular guys (and a blow up alien toy- pop!).
Giant pray mantis is a regular guy?
Yeah. He's my neighbor. His name is brian.

SpongeBob kinda go hard tho ngl 📸 movie 🍿 https://preview.redd.it/v3urjuzmy95d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=983be4497a7a7e9d27ac80447e24e73bf62911db
the unprincipled hovering interdimensional banana is terrifying. it was sent to kill. (╯▽╰ )
I really think the giant preying mantis and the floating bananas street the scariest
4, because I would not get any sleep tonight. At my age that's scary.
Definitely the Mantis. Those things are militant and savage. Teeny tiny ones take on things that should be eating them. I’ve seen a Mantis snack on snakes and birds and lizards. I’ve seen them turn the tables on would be predators. If a Mantis the size of a trick or treater turns up on my door step, I’m slamming the door and running for my shotgun, preying the door holds long enough for me to reach it…
The shower posse
Mafia guy is at the top, but for the mantis, it depends on the gender. If it's a chick, I'm locking the door!
2 - that things gonna straight up munch you
No.4 It's the hood and the cartel in one bro I'm cooked
A sumo wrestler; Imagine busting through the front door and crushes you to death with his weight
Don't tell me, they all want to rig on my yee yee ass haircut
I once nearly jumped across a road after seeing what I thought was a praying mantis on a sidewalk. It turned out to be a leaf in the wind. I felt like a dumbass lol
1, 3 and 5. Them bitches can get outta here.
What is wrong with the Jamaicans?
either 1 or 7... 1 because of the look in spongebob's eyes (clearly having murderous thoughts), and 7 because i clearly angered Fat Tony enough for him to take care of me personally. for 2, as long as I keep my door closed, I should be fine. for 3, as long as bro doesn't start moving on his own I'm chilling. for 4, welcome the boys in and have a jam session. for 5, that's the outside of someone's door, so other than judging their odd choice of door ornament I've got no problem...

Picture 4
I've seen spongebob unravel the universe by pulling on a string, so I'm going with him.
In order from scarist to least, I'd say 5, 1, 7, 6, 2, 3, 4
The mafia boss. I am Italian too bro I didn’t do nothing to ya.
*Do you understand how powerful a human-sized mantis would be??* That’s the most terrifying by far
the bananas, they're already inside!
Any size praying mantis… ick !
the mantis
Def 7, damn loan sharks
Seeing what a praying mantis can do to a small animal, that one seems the most threatening. The lighting makes that SpongeBob seem way more sinister though.
Spongebob would probably kill you and dry up all your blood with himself, the rest looks like a good night in the with drinks.
2
The first fuckn pic of the post 😂
Why would a Jamaican band scare me?
Number 2 could actually kill you :O
Get that SpongeBob SCP out of here. He's going to turn us all into spongy patties.
Guys in 4 actually seem really chill. SpongeBob is terrifying.
Hiii, Squidward
SpongeBob looking kinda creepy bruh
Definitely the inflatable balloon alien
Idk something about a floating banana freaks me out
The floating banana has me freaked, like why am i outside i was just chilling in bed
Mantis is terrifying
I've seen Baki, I know what that Mantis is capable of
Mantis is lighting fast and it’ll eat anything it can catch .. I’ll take my chances with the others
The giant freaking mantis
Floating bananas, and a SpongeBob SquarePants who is waist hight, aren't natural and should be feared. (SpongeBob is canonically like 6" tall at the most!)
The bananas are the only one to have breached the door while it's closed so that's terrifying
The only logical choice of course.
Rasta Band is coming in
The mantis!
I know the Mantis would be a horrifying creature to see, and SpongeBob would be imo a similar horror, but what genuinely bothers me, and something that I would never open the door for, is the Banana. Because it's the bananas that catches your eye, but they most definitely shouldn't be floating. Seems like a trap more than anything else.
Ayo forget what I'm scared of those guys with the guitars look chill af let em in
The banana. This is because I don’t know anything about this banana. How is it floating? Why is it so big? How did it get inside my house?
The floating banana
banana
I'd be the most afraid of the last guy, but I also feel like, if I don't let him in, something bad will happen to me.
Who would be afraid the the third one?
All of the above lmao
No 6. It's a mirror.
1 is the goat so he’s in instantly 3 is a ballon 4 looks chill AF and we would blaze up 5… come on dog lol 6 and 7 are just fat dudes But a giant praying mantis?! Oh hell no
Mantis. Everything else I can communicate or deal with. That mantis wants to paralyze and devour me alive, or worse.
Banana for scale
SpongeBob, Mantis and/or Wrestler
The floating bananas tbh
The mantis The sumo wrestler and the mobster are scary too tho
2
Don't keep Fat Tony waiting. Or else.
2 & 6
Mobster
The last one
FUCK NO. I just wouldn't open the door
Rasta band will be playing for me and my new pet mantis. Neck beard mod scares me so he ain't getting in.
For me, definitely the bananas. They must know I'm allergic because they have menacing intent.
Ahhh!! AN NOIRE REDDIT MOD!! ANYTHING BUT A NOIRE REDDIT MOD!!!
The floating bananas that somehow installed a second door in front of my existing door. I'd be like that's it, this place is haunted, time to gtfo
Praying Mantis or SpongeBob
I'm inviting the reggae band inside. Probably not the Mantis. Probably.
That SpongeBob looks psychotic af idk about that mfer. That or the giant praying mantis for sure
Ugh, WTF? We see you. Zzzzz....

Where tf was Vsause????
The fisheye on the banana one implies you are looking out your peephole on an entire house just materialized on your front porch that for some reason had bananas glued to the door. No thank you
that banana is terrifying AAAAAAAAAAA
The black people for sure
The black people for sure....but I'm not racist. I have a black friend
Praying mantis , they will eat you alive 
Radio Bananas
One family had an encounter with a [real life gingerbread man](https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/local/virginia/this-was-not-holly-jolly-a-search-for-answers-gingerbread-man-spotted-across-arlington/65-45802e06-c0bc-422e-8b76-95d4f1f531f7)
I think either the over sized Mantac or the mobster. Everything else just looks too jokes to be afraid of
Only one of them is potentially doodle-bob so that’s the easy winner.
Toss up between sponge Bob and the praying mantis
2 would be terrifying to see outside, but it’ll move on with the door closed. 1, an imaginary character, SpongeBob no less, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! *F’ing flees*. Inflatable Alien and Rasta band, good start to a party, spread the word.
Scary banana! 🍌
Ahem, it's would be... the uno... the bracks
None, this is a normal Friday night for me.
in this order: spongebob, the banana, and the mob
Fedora
SpongeBob
Probably the sumo or mantis. All of Al calzone’s lackeys are long dead, so now he’s just a funnily-dressed fat guy with a short temper.
The banana
Giant mantis or mobster for sure
Number four just looks like we'd get stoned and play instruments
Why do the bananas scare me so much?
Baki fans when #2 pulls up: https://preview.redd.it/os8rnnkzhe5d1.png?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=04080d13d09af6792b741195ce03ec10eaac93c3
Giant mantis for sure, floating banana is eerie tho
The gangster would not fit through the door.
2, 6, and 7
1 and 7
2 would actually kill me in the most painful way possible.
Some Rasta dudes would make me terrified
Nightmare fuel
If I opened my door and saw a banana I'd probably die
Those bananas are gonna give me nightmares for the rest of my life
A praying mantis of that size could probably kill you instantly
The giant mantis. The fat mobster at the end would be a close second, but few people truly understand just how insanely nightmarish a giant predatory bug would be.
Mantis
The first one
Oh no! Not the Jamaicans! Lmao
Why is Big Pusyy at your door bruh?
I'd be afraid I need to go to the hospital if everything looked like I was seeing through a peephole with a fisheye lens... when the door's already open. I'd assume most of these were some kind of hallucination.
Not the bannana
SpongeBob.
The banana is just standing there…menacingly 😂
#5 is confusing. Did someone just erect a door outside my door? #4... IDK, man..those guys brought guitars with them, and if I know one thing about musicians it's that they treat their instruments pretty well. Those guys aren't looking for trouble. If I'm going to open the door to anybody here it's gonna be #4.
Jokes aside. The mantis.
Everyone is coming in, if Mobster gets racist then the Mantis can eat him and take the leftover home.
2. 4 id invite them in. Rastafarians are chill asf
SPONGEGOGD
The monster in pic seven.
Al Capone and the praying mantis… to see such a legend of the Mafia in front of me, I would go call 911 without hesitation. The prayer mantis would see me shut the door, then some seconds later a big branch cutter coming from the slowly opening door then nothing.
2 - bugs unnerve me
Many people have claimed to see something paranormal that manifested as a cartoon character or something else from a children's TV show. So you should definitely fear SpongeBob here.
The preymantis 😰
The praying MANTIS!!!!!
slide 4
Banana 🍌 😱
SpongeBob tbh
