The Praying Mantis Is Here To Save 2020

by

While the media brought even more depressing news this week that murder hornets had made their way to North America to potentially kill humans, a new hero emerged on Twitter to save us all from this incredibly bleak year. It appears that the praying mantis is not only the hero we deserve, but the hero we need after a video of it killing a murder hornet went viral.

While the video is particularly gruesome, it does in fact show a villain being defeated that has brought additional anxiety to a nation already stressed out and suffering by the global pandemic. Naturally, “praying mantis” began to trend, albeit strangely under the food section of Twitter. Memes and GIFs were used to applaud the insect for its hard work and determination in rectifying 2020, and left many asking how they can purchase their own praying mantis as a potential bodyguard for all future threats.

 

 
The praying mantis was soon declared an essential worker.

 
There’s always time for a Craigslist joke.

 
A well deserved cigarette.

 
Many users were quick to guess what insane catastrophe would arrive next.

 
Constantly raising the bar.

 
The content was mesmerizing.

 
A bingo game on steroids.

 
The true superheroes of our time.

 
Our only wish is that Samuel L. Jackson could narrate this video.

 
Of course, many users were quick to ask how they could purchase their own praying mantis.

 

 
Here’s hoping they don’t sell out quicker than toilet paper.

 
Hope.

 
It’s nice to see a villain defeated.

 

Happy National Day of Prayer.
