Do you think it can live after it’s removed? Can the insect survive this?

Edit: Well normally. In OP video the water prolly dried up and it died in the sun.

You know the feeling when you've been a little constipated and then take a massive dump, so big you feel like you lost some weight and you probably should have lubed up before dropping that brick? Multiply that feeling with about a hundred and that's how the mantis feels. Give him a few minutes to get his bearings again.
