Insect thunderdome: Two bugs enter, one bug leaves!

There aren't that many impressive bugs around my house, but after watching the Discovery channel for countless hours (its summer vacation), that cool video about the Great Bee Massacre I thought it would be fascinating, albeit somewhat cruel to put two bugs in an 'arena' with the idea that they would fight each other to the death. What cool match-ups would you like to see?

Mantis vs Scorpion: This would be a cool match-up because I would imagine this would be a fight in which the victor would most certainly be eating the loser. I saw this fight on the Discovery channel once and the Mantis won, but things could have gone the other way around if that Scorpion got a hit with his stinger.
