neat video, needs to read up on cavatation a bit though, it can't forma bubble between the claw and the surface being struck as this is a high pressure zone, the bubble would actualy form on the back side of the claw and whould implode when the claw stopped moving fast enough to maintain the low pressure zone behind it. the effect of the implosion would affect the claw of the mantis more than the prey, but there could be some sound wave generated that might be able to stun suseptable prey.
