I need to know what show this scene is from. In 2005, I was channel surfing
and came across a show on [adult swim] and I got distracted by laughter and
children playing. The animation was dated, so it had a Rurouni Kenshin style
to it. There were two children, a boy and a girl playing in the forest at
night. Then out of nowhere, this huge praying mantis appears and stabs the
little girl from behind. I was in 4th grade at the time, so I was traumatized
and quickly changed the channel. If you could help me figure out what this
scene is from it would be greatly appreciated.

inuyasha
What's this anime with a scene with a large praying mantis?


Maybe [InuYasha](http://myanimelist.net/anime/249/InuYasha) at episode 28,
there is a woman that transforms into a giant mantis.
