While taking photos of some recent work, a fight broke out between the subjects. It comes down to this - Praying Mantis versus a Hercules Beetle. Speed versus Might.

Praying Mantis vs Jewel Beetle
The Jewel Beetle enters the fray, but is clearly no match for a Praying mantis!

Hercules Beetle vs Jewel Beetle
After escaping the Mantis, it appears the Jewel Beetle may try to take on the Hercules! Probably a big mistake!!!
