Hummingbird meets Praying Mantis

[RawwrCx]

omg thats so cool but creepy lol

[JediIvanova]

Spoiler: Nothing happens. The End.

[Starlucid1]

Mantis:....Stupid fluttery dumb ass.

[OhitzAndge]

"Mine mine mine. My flowers, my nectar, MINE!!!"

[Candoofis]

Does anyone else hate that annoying new sound u hear everytime u vot a comment up -.-

[awesomeguy1486]

why didnt the bird kill that demon!?!?!?!?

[Schmidyization]

The praying mantis eyes are bigger than its belly.

[cronosblow]

lol love it when the hummingbird first lands on the feeder...Mantis turns his head all like "Why hello dar"

[tessa6126]

I didn't see the praying mantis at first, but then I saw it.

[drago884]

Can a Mantis actually kill a humming birds if it got in a whack at it? I know hummingbirds are small and the Mantises eat lizards, but still seems like a big size difference...

[lawnsausages]

@drago884 They can see: Praying Mantis vs Hummingbird... may be to the right in recommended, if not search.

[HaBooBo0]

@drago884 Yes. There is a video here on youtube called "Praying mantis vs hummingbird". Although it's not much of a "vs", it just shows the mantis eating the hummingbird that it had already caught.

[MorgueMaid]

i was hesitant to watch this and thought for sure it would leave me sad. glad it didn't. however, you should have killed the intruder. why put up a hummingbird feeder to feed the birds and then let a creepy insect stalk them? i have a hummingbird feeder on my balcony for my cats to enjoy... with a closed sliding screen door and a closed sliding glass door between the feedder and the cats. the cats get excited to see them and meow when they see them but they can't harm them.

[broadcastmyass4u]

@MorgueMaid lol you are a trip...

[illincrux]

@MorgueMaid So you rather have the praying mantis die? Sorry, but mother nature isn't biased...only ignorant humans are. =]

[OrcanLord]

The bird is such a troll haha!

[jeanalisson2006]

I almost fell off my chair at the beginning... my sound was really loud D:

[TheZornk]

DAD:Now be very still

Son:Why?

DAD:Ugh for the birds

Branch snaps

DAD:OH MAH GOSH.

Son:What?

DAD:our dog scared the birds.

Son:GOD DAMMIT!!!! Here Sparky Sparky sparky

[702BabyJoker]

@TheZornk wtf are you talking about

[TranceRocker227]

1:18 DUDE!!! SAVED YOU'RE LIFE!!!!

[legionmantis]

nothing happens!

[phase866]

Holy crap. It took me 13 secs to realize the mantis was there

[TheCinderella29]

I don't want praying mantis to attack any hummingbird. Love hummingbirds.!

[TheNbaLover22]

@TheCinderella29 You're cute . :)

[RXAlphaWolf]

@TheNbaLover22 You're creepy x.x

[TheNbaLover22]

@RXAlphaWolf Love You . :)

[jj44jj1]

kill bill music in the background

[YummyTofuu]

I couldve just used gust -.- :D

[Timetowatchbadvideos]

Who's smarter?

[xaouqinz]

ahh i so thought the mantis was just going to grab one

[jhartsho825]

This video sucks. Nothing friggen happens ever.

[davedingobeast]

@jhartsho825 at least the title doesn't lie like all the other youtube vids

[Turkisshh2]

@davedingobeast

that's true, the title was NOT misleading, but still I'm kinda disappointed, I was expecting to see some huntin' & killin' & feastin', and bird is not PM's everyday prey, which would make it even more interesting

(I'm heartless because I'm fascinated by nature? so be it, at least I'm honest)

though it was kinda funny & cute, with the Flight of Bumblebee in background and all

[RoadWarroirX]

Dang!

[MrNipperthegreat]

Mantis for the win bawhaha

[varmman]

Bear Grylls would eat both of this....haha

[AriesLF]

he turned his head over at that bird and looked at him like the freaking exorcist or something.

[mas91796]

it looked like the birds were taunting the praying mantis

[Gertywow]

DAMN NATURE YOU SCAR- ehhh. It's getting old.

[djjoman303]

Does anyone own a tripod? Seriously

[USN1985dos]

Damn.  One of these was living on my back porch for the last few days. Alot of humming birds are around too, so after I saw this I went out and killed the Praying Mantis. Human intervention, bitches!

My back porch= Humming Bird protection zone.

[MorgueMaid]

@USN1985dos

where is the "like" to click on for your comment, LOL!

[Otulissa3]

mantis: "Hi Ya'll!"

Bird: "Eughh who invited him, lets move"

mantis: "Lets boogie, Do a little dance"

Bird. "Look at him, Eggg, he's so disgusting!"

[Prayingmantis72]

CANT KILL A PRAYINGMANTIS!!!!

[BADNEWZakaLILNOGOOD]

hahahahaha

good video

[colesucksjklol]

this is funny

[RiceKiller191]

That music totally made the video lol

[NathanH5]

Those were lucky hummingbirds!!! A Mantis of that size could easily catch one and kill it. I've seen mantids eating hummingbirds, snakes and even mice!

[Meekamalaka]

Mantis head turn @ 0:19

[blakekr]

@loveloverunning I made my husband watch this video just because your comment made me laugh so hard.

[Tactual]

There was a praying mantis in my bathroom window a little while ago and when I leaned in for a closer look it turned it's head and looked me right in the eye! Freaked me right out! I'd be quite happy if they went extinct, they're too smart.

[MacBook262]

If i would have seen this i would have run and snapped the mantis head off. >:|

[yimldsru2]

There is a video of one eating a Humming Bird.  Amazing!

[bassfishermn95]

Praying Mantis: "get closer bitch!"

[MrCle2009]

hey where do u live because i dont think that a mantis is a common animal in the us canada or mexico.

[awsomelegodudes]

@MrCle2009 I'm in Georgia, and we see them all the time!

[awsomelegodudes]

@MrCle2009 In fact, a couple of years ago there was one on my hummingbird feeder trying to catch the birds. All he could catch was bees!

[NedSCUBAyah]

Nice music choice. Praying mantis going to hummingbirds...who knew?

[veryslyfox]

So disappointing!!!! I was expecting to see the mantis catch the bird live.

[jameslo93]

lol stealth fail

[Im4reelz]

Thank goodness, I love both the mantis and the hummer but I don't ever want a hummer to be taken by a mantis.

[cryora]

It seems a lot of videos show praying mantises hanging out in nectar feeders.

[orcaworca]

love the way the mantis just cocks his head towards to bird like hi there...lets have dinner or you be my DINNER!

[Shamvorpio]

ahhh I wish he would have caught it. I love how the mantis mimics branches blowing in the wind as it move towards the humming bird. Fascinating stuff.

[gettinmines125]

Look at 0:22 how the mantis got his head turned lookin at him like,"look at this mufukka disturbing my prayer session!" lmaoooo

[tenoderaaridifolia]

That's what I call anti-climax....

[Chrispoirier]

im just a branch swaying in the wind dont look at me bro

[ShawnzyNoSignal]

19 hummingbirds watched this video

[eBiology]

I love how they turn their heads... they are so aggressive.

[pie5333]

all he had to do was use wing attack...scrub.

[squito94]

If you ever see that again take it off!! It'll kill you hummers!

[Beef1188]

@squito94 Yes but not this time.

Suck my dick you green faced maggot (said the bird)

[Beef1188]

@squito94 ehm... dude? I typed that I didn't say that...

Besides, its ok to hear that in the movies, but youtube - bad? You're a hipocrite!

[Beef1188]

@squito94 That wasn't funny boy.

[Beef1188]

@squito94 Now THAT wasn't nice man!

Im done talking to you.

[cheapcape]

@Beef1188 dudemeister, stfu

[xXNibiNoNekoXx]

I didn't see where he was until 0:17, they blend in so well with the tree leaves.

[goten360]

wow! thumbs up if you didnt even notice that mantis and had to fast forward because you didnt wanna waste your time.. than realized it was RIGHT there the WHOLE time!!! crazy!!!

[Vamp6661]

i hate seeing mammles being devoured by insects

[KingRobertBaratheon]

@Vamp6661 1) Nothing got devoured in this video and 2) birds aren't mammals

[Yeonwonhi]

The mantis is like a creepy neighborhood molester barging in a sophisticated wine drinking club.

[TheWolfOfShadows]

@Yeonwonhi Best comment I've seen all day.

[T810G]

good music

[JMHerbert1]

WTF!!!! I want to see hummingbird death!

[bluezgoldz]

Not a good camo

[40mikemo]

mantis got kited

[KingdomheartsII]

Umm hello? Hasn't Pokemon taught you that Bug types are weak against Flying types?

[T810G]

@KingdomheartsII haha love this comment.

[PeterKonstanti]

@KingdomheartsII 0x00x0xx00xx funny

[WatchUrHead1]

@KingdomheartsII probably havent watched Praying Mantis vs Humming Bird...

[strong148]

@KingdomheartsII i like how you just coppied the one guys comment on the vid before this one :)

[ColubridCreationsTV]

@KingdomheartsII Slyther is the exception >:D

[wilknight12345]

@KingdomheartsII This isn't pokemon. If that bug type got near the flying type, there would be no more flying.

[Paterson559]

The birds like, you ain't getting me, you ain't getting, comin' closer now, you still ain't getting me and then................BOOM I got you!

[MaxxTheSlash]

I always loved praying mantises, and this video confirms why. Mantises don't fuck around, they can take down insects and animals twice their size.

[ButtZilla1031]

that thing is massive!!!

[chewtube72]

Damn there's something wrong with insects eating birds or mammals. Doesn't seem right

[santanoreal1096]

i like how at 1:21 the humming bird looks at the mantis then back at the flower and is like ''you would like me to land there would'nt ya''.....bye bye

[shizzlecream]

I'll help everyone. Nothing happens. Waste of time.

[chadwick341]

More like a praying mantis death trap...

[misukiyuki]

Mantis looks like it's pretending to be a statue. LOL XD

Hummingbird looked like it was freaking out when it saw the mantis move. It was like, "Um did that statue just move?" o_O? "No biggie, I'll just move over the next feeder opening."

Mantis slowly creeps up on him.

Hummingbird: "Yikes! You're no statue, you're a preditor! I'm out of here!"

[STOOPIDTIME]

The video's so calm and then the Mantis comes out and is like "mmmmmmmmmGENTLEMEN, Y hello thar?"

[vlkrohed88]

SOOOO anticlimactic.

[kickthecat75]

ITS A TRAP!!

[lilsm555]

Respect the praying mantis

[ExtendedAVA]

I wasnt able to see the green Bastard for secounds!

[TheVraccy]

the mantis is like god damn it and the humming birt is like lol

[GaryKoeppe]

just like eagles and snakes, mantises are opportunistic hunters, they will eat anything they can catch.

[925tagatelo]

Dan humming bird wasn't no full

[losabuelos1]

Can't you guys be just friends?

[666rottenegg]

You suck at filming shit.

[Feonalilly]

hungry as shit

[Kingofchaching616]

holy shit i didn't even see the mantis. he totally camouflaged. i saw him at 0:27 when he started moving

[monimstarfox]

how about praying mantis meets RAID

[MrPitseleh]

@monimstarfox that's mean he should just be moved to another spot to where he can catch bugs not cool hummingbirds.

[YellowArtistCentury]

I THOUGHT BIRDS EAT BUGS NOT THE OPPOSITE

[G0odf3lla]

@YellowArtistCentury Mantises will eat about anything they catch... and alive !

[TheVeisonchen]

i am glad they didnt eat dogs or cats

[Dracosgal8]

flight of the bumblebee classic  :)

[MsMightyCupCake]

Mantis really wants it's nomnom Owo

[jrbachman]

Come on!!! WTF... What a come down; I was expecting some real action there and ... plop. nothing.

[MyDeArmAsTeR1]

get that piece of shit mantis out of there

[x6h0ztx]

No action at ALL...

[minkyblack]

praying mantis loves the humming birds...for lunch!

[billcoff]

Thanks. I have corrected the spellling.

[QuantumProphet]

@billcoff I guess hummingbirds are not religious?. This could explain

[brunowarlord]

Show.

[Imyourfather69]

[billcoff]

Panasonic DMC-ZS3
