It's a large centipede... looks real to me. Tarantulas and scorpions will eat baby mice, it's not unheard of. I certainly wouldn't want to run into that thing though, ugh.

It's not an insect. An insect has 6 legs. That is a type of centipede.
But yeah, it looks pretty real to me! Cool video!

Some insect do eat mice like spiders they paralized it first or some insect just sucks the blood out of it. Like spiders they lay eggs when the mouse paralized the baby will hatch and that will be their food.

Dear Canitbe, Yes, this is definatly a centipede eating a mouse. It is not a millipede. Centipedes have only two legs per body segment whereas millipedes have four legs per body segment. Scolopendra gigantea, also known as the Amazonian giant centipede, is the largest extant species of centipede in the world, reaching over 30 cm (12 in) in length. It is known to eat bats, catching them in midflight, as well as rodents and spiders. PZB

wow,that is amazing. Sure I think that is real. It looks like some sort of centipede. In the tropics insects etc. are very large and capable of that type of thing.

Could be, but the answers above speak on spiders or scorpions being the predators. Spiders and scorpions are NOT insects.

Yeah, its a centipede, I think its species is subspinipes.
Most centipedes (unlike millipedes) are carnivorous.
