Preying Mantis attacks Hummingbird

[galaxiehubba]

noobhealz402 = idiot

[alexseelus]

And what the fuck would peta do about this huh?

[123ABCCBA321drome]

Hi, I'm Martin Mantis organizer of the Mantis Project ( we tried to develop a Womantis Project but it didn't fly ).

Anyway, I peruse Youtube videos for examples that are unkind to.....mantises ( or is it manti ? ).

Anyway, again, this is one of them ! Therefore, we must report you to PETA ( stands for Pet Exceptional Talking Aardvarks ).

And, next time, whack the hummingbird and we'll leave you alone !

Yours truly, Martin

[GunBroker100]

Funny how every one thinks nature is peaceful and harmonious, When exactly the opposite is true. Nature is cruel and adversarial. Go into the forest without a weapon and you could very quickly find yourself on the menu. Need proof, grab a squirrel and see how fast your looking for three or four people to help you turn it loose again, as it's biting the crap out of you.

[Zh1tube]

Sucks that you flicked the little dude...

[DLNY1961]

Yeah and what was nature doing with a man-made hummingbird feeder? Why it was taking it's course! I'm with Mr. Hand, nice save!

[Sylmariahime]

I dont understand why people put up these videos.

[maryjaneclouds25]

fucking sick!!!! the praying matis are fearless. lmao

[annabellejonesify]

I cant believe mantis is that strong

[redrock59]

Oh noes, he interfered with nature. This will be the catalyst for the collapse of an entire ecosystem!!! Butterfly effect! /s

[Taragirl9066]

Im glad he saved the bird! I would have done the same thing! I love Hummingbirds they are the most fascinating animals to watch on earth!

[jmilfker]

Fuck the fat fuck that flicked it. Fuck backporch productions. How about omitting the first 20 seconds you pretentious pseudo production company.

[TheJPomp]

damn, nature. you scary

[FreshProdRecords]

Wait a minute.. is this the sample Flying Lotus used in "Melt (Monopoly Mix)"?

[rohontsiawaks]

Was awsome till the prick holding the camera ruined the whole cycle of life thing happening...

[PhazonSwimmy]

the mantis still held on to the hummingbird? was it ok?

[benjevator]

i like to kill praying mantises

[sharpiefreak1]

I bet those hummingbirds won't come back. xD

[HelloPandaNF]

@rememberxjuly I agree, though the size of food the mantis will eat grows as it gets hungrier...

[rememberxjuly]

Aw those poor little bird noises! D: Mantis starving? My ass. If that guy can hold down a hummingbird, I doubt it's been having much trouble finding and keeping food. It even took two flicks to knock off its grip. That mantis will be fine without that poor hummingbird. Let it eat other mantises...and spiders. Let it eat lots and lots of spiders.

[noobhealz402]

Ok confused, but why did you flick the mantis? It's starving. Just because the humming bird was retarded enough to run into it doesn't mean you should interfere with nature. Let nature take its course and stop fucking with it. Let me guess, next time you're going to save a giraffe from a pack of lions because the giraffe makes some squeaking sound? Just because the mantis might not be able to make some sympathetic sound doesn't mean his life is any less important than the birds.

[VickyBabie1]

@noobhealz402 dumbest comment I've ever read! So let me get this straight...if you saw a man attacking a woman you wouldn't interfere?? I get that its nature,,,but the whole point is to help as many people and creatures in need! How the fuck can you feel sorry for a nasty-ass praying "man-tits" lol And how could you NOT feel sorry for the poor bird crying for help! Thats where it goes for refreshments! The man-tits had no business being there!

[Zebidiah12]

@VickyBabie1 A man attacking a woman isn't the cycle of nature. If that happens, of course I would do anything in my power to stop it, but when something is preying on another thing you don't interfere. If every animal in nature had someone interfering with its hunting and feeding, we'd all be dead. Including you.

[hnbsniper]

@VickyBabie1 would you help the mantis if the bird attacked it?

[madtonesbr]

@VickyBabie1 I'll let you flick mantises when you set out a mantis feeder. until then, they have to eat too. Screw you for being an idiot raised by the idea of Disney animal harmony.

[johnnyaf1994]

@noobhealz402 Animals that are cuter will be selected in favor over what we determine as less cute creatures, naturally. The cuter creature survives in this situation, thus cute babies may be more likely. "Natural selection". We decide which life is more important, since that's really a subjective view. So yes, I would say the hummingbird's life is more important, because it's cuter. It may sound bad, but I love birds much more than mantises.

[Tammc09]

@johnnyaf1994 Exactly, we are more powerful than nature in this case, so we can decide the outcome.

[Ioganstone]

@Tammc09 Sadly I'm afraid I must digress from this statement of yours. There are no hummingbird feeders which exist bespecked throughout the wild where of which mantises may or may not anticipate "humming" ornithology. ha ha ha

[mikelad777]

@noobhealz402 So we aren't part of nature then?

[xxxBakeneckoxxx]

@noobhealz402 I'm sorry but no. The mantis had no right to even be there. It's a hummingbird feeder, not a mantis feeder. Seriously. Fuck the praying mantis. It has other shit it can eat besides that bird. So quit bitching about how he "interfered with nature." I'm sure 90% of the people who witnessed this would have done the same thing, including you. So get off your high horse about "interfering with nature". It's one fucking bug. They are literally millions of them.

[SimaanFreeloader]

@noobhealz402 Because he wants to. It's a damn bug, who gives a fuck. He probably just didn't want a half-eaten bird on his porch.

[hello333able]

@SimaanFreeloader and your a damn human. humans are no more valuable than mantids you oily noob.

[SimaanFreeloader]

@hello333able No, you aren't. I and most other people are. I would gladly feed you to a thousand hungry preying mantises.

[hello333able]

@SimaanFreeloader whaaaaatever you damn speciest

[hello333able]

@SimaanFreeloader also what makes you think your better than me YOU DONT EVEN KNOW ME!!!

[GoCanes2001]

@noobhealz402 Just watch the video and shut the fuck up you asshole.

[topherbear]

@noobhealz402 thats my dad, we gave the mantis a full 72 oz steak after saving the poor hummingbird. CALM DOWN YOU TREE HUGGER!

[WindBreaker77]

@noobhealz402 who gives a fk about nature. Fuck all Mantis they look disgusting

[noobhealz402]

@WindBreaker77 you look disgusting.

[WindBreaker77]

@noobhealz402 Your anus is disgusting

[TheRfarfa]

@WindBreaker77 i flick matis's for fun, you mad noob?

[hello333able]

@WindBreaker77 telling by your name your no better than the so called "disgusting mantis"

[123gubby]

only like this comment if you think it is sick she/he let the mantis eat a little bit of it and then eat another one(I think this is the act of an animal to have control and not do any thing). If she didnt want to kill it at least put it far away. dislike this if you disagree

[spottedtail223]

thank you for saving the bird i couldent stand it cry

[TheBloodyBlackJackal]

I still fail to see how that scrawny mantis can hold on ot a humming bird so well, I mean the humming bird is like twice its size and actually has some muscles on those wings, coudln't the huming bird just fly with the mantis on it???

[TheCinderella29]

Thank you .... It was sad to hear the little bird cry.

[d4n13lr0x]

Thanks for saving the bird T_T

[atlastpeace]

You should have interfered the next week. ಠ_ಠ

[shinedown101ily]

To everyone who is hating on yasumpuss1ey's comment, it's a joke. chill out.

[italomd1]

Good job! Something about an insect eating a mammal disturbs the shit out of me, I rather see a bug die of hunger than a bird be its lunch.

[0jkensler0]

You do realize that particular praying mantis was very obviously pregnant? Nice job robbing a hard earned meal from a pregnant animal you prick.

[TobietheHedgehog]

I have that brand of bird feeder, Mine is red with flowers too!

[thane1997]

Humming bird mom - Okay u can go out and play, but dont go near the praying mantis okay... he get angry

Humming bird son- Okayyy i wontt, i promise

(time to piss of a praying mantis, he cant handle me :D)

[W4FFL3ZRUL3]

He still had the bird AFTER the creator of the video disturbed him

[ptuku]

@W4FFL3ZRUL3 no, a WEEK after this vid was captured the mantis got another one.

[soulkiss31]

What a load of shit! I hope one day someone snatches your dinner from you, asshole!

[benkenser]

If you want to save it, why so late....? The mantis was posing and getting ready to strike....

I would not save the bird anymore after it stroke, it would die anyway....

[XxRebeLLyeLLxX]

why would you do this? you are interfering with natural selection. now we have an unfit bird flying around and having babies.

[MrToshifilms]

dude omg ! sick what type of prey mantis is this! this can like cat the rats in my atic for me!

[TimmyGal]

I'm sure you felt heroic saving the bird like that. But why did you interfere? I know it's a sad spectacle, but feel for the mantis, it had to eat too.

[benz1980i]

good save man. Damn praying mantis

[cookmatthewr]

Don't interfere with nature.

[varmman]

omg!!! MANTISES ARE REALLY.......they eat anything they catch alive!

[varmman]

haha..Bear Grylls would eat both of this

[Biderbeck]

the mantis was sitting right over the flower on the feeder freakin smart ass bug...good thing that hand showed up bird was done for

[biggamerboy1]

i would have fucked that mantis up with my air rifle just seeing it sit there waiting for birds. hate seeing and hearing things in pain

[1madaboutguitar]

@biggamerboy1 Its nature dude

[biggamerboy1]

@1madaboutguitar yeah i know but nature can be cruel... and so your saying if a giant manits started munching your mate and you had a rocket launcher you wouldnt shoot it? :')

[1madaboutguitar]

@biggamerboy1 Ha Ha, there wouldn't be much left of your mate either with a fuckin rocket launcher :)

[biggamerboy1]

@1madaboutguitar tbh yeah hahaha

[Zedekiah21]

After the divine intervention, the bird later went on to preach his miraculous escape and the omnipotence and benevolence of the all mighty Master Hand.

and on that day, the hummingbird religion of Big-Hand-God was born.

[ptuku]

@Zedekiah21 yet a week later an Atheist bird ignores him and turned into a meal :')

[ready44x]

@ptuku and those that believed in the mercy and protection of the man with the cam quickly died off because they thought they were invincible. They believed that, like this bird, a higher power would come to their rescue, while the agnostics relied on instinct and experience for survival. Nature is a perfect metaphor of religion. What makes you think (if) a higher power would want to watch over you 24/7? I think he'd rather set up the cam, and do his own thing, letting the lessers figure it out

[ptuku]

@ready44x I was jking :p, but your statement of the birds getting too bold because the helping hand is true.

[goe5]

Big hand equals fail

[indigocrystalC6]

Good for you for saving the hummingbird. Nothing should have to die is such a brutal way. It's simply the nature of good-hearted people to stop any suffering they encounter along life's path. I say, let the mantis go find itself an insect meal. I mean, what's it going to eat, maybe 5% of the bird? Too much waste. ...and they say humans are wasteful! Crikey!

[boogiemaam]

the little humming bird cried "help". I was glad you rescued him.

[lagiacrus54]

you spelled praying mantis preying mantis

[u4eah420]

thanks for doing that.

made me sad seeing the hummingbird heading for doom.

[TheGAMERINATOR]

WOW WHY YOU STOP IT?!?!?!

[yasumpuss1ey]

Fucken White boy had to cheat, since when was this a WWE match where interference occur, let the Pray enjoy its meal, it used alot of energy for it.

[Rinabu72]

@yasumpuss1ey Like it's going to finish the whole bird. Did you even hear it's poor cry? I mean, REALLY. And calling this man a "fucken white boy" is just racist. He was just helping the poor bird. As for the praying mantis can catch something it can actually FINISH. So stop picking on people because they were helping anf go grow some balls.

[wafats]

@yasumpuss1ey What the fuck is up with you issuing a RACIST REMARK regarding a backyard nature video? Asshole.

People like you are the whole fucking problem.

[ServiceInstaller]

@yasumpuss1ey Whiteboys arena - whiteboys rules. You should be used to that darkey

[SlaughteredInside]

@yasumpuss1ey K first of all "black boy" your grammar sux. 2nd. The "prey" is the victim of the "predator" let the mantis go snack on some spiders and shit. humming birds are cool. they dont bother anything. the mantis needs to focus its meals on pests. ...oh yeah and its spelled "fuckin" not "fucken".

[prettysexygirl001]

@yasumpuss1ey you're a real prick!

[prettysexygirl001]

@yasumpuss1ey You're a real prick!

[d1V1n3d]

u meany ! u stole lady mantis her lunch !

[camryclubofcasper]

wtf dude let nature take its tole mantis gotta eat too

[thejanitorssuccess]

i feed mantises to my lizard

[RELLIKPIR]

Finally a video where it got caught but some kind hearted fool had to save it. Leave the camera on and walk away pussy.

[LizardLoverAnna]

@RELLIKPIR If anyone sounds like the pussy its you, it was his damn choice to save it. Theres many more choices of food a mantis can eat other than a hummingbird it will live dear goodnes... Find a better hobby besides getting off to an animal being eaten

[scythelord]

@LizardLoverAnna it's called nature, GTFO its way.

[LizardLoverAnna]

@scythelord Yes im aware its called nature, im truly aware. However does that mean some body cant flick it off if it wants? Yes, doesnt make them a pussy. Next time your getting mauled by an animal and its within seconds of killing you would that make somebody a pussy for trying to save you? Or would you rather them roll the camera. Just sayin. Im well aware its nature and all but that doesnt mean the mans a pussy from saving a hummingbird from an insect..seriously

[RELLIKPIR]

@scythelord Maybe she'd be mad if someone stole her lizards dinner and made it starve.

[LizardLoverAnna]

@RELLIKPIR Um this is real life dumbshit? That made no sense at all do u realize how many animals a praying insect can and will catch and eat? No. good god

[bassfishermn95]

0:37 DRINK IT BITCH!

[DonPechito]

Yeah !! I would have done exactly the same thing !! I know nature is how it is, but just thinking a mantis can eat a hummingbird...i can't stand that !!

[AlmightyMacky]

WOAH! COOL! thanks for uploading this!

[66SiK]

Wait, the mantis hung on to the hummingbird at the end. Did the bird get away?

[urfavwtyeboi]

lol *Flick*



[jomofo67]

cool video...I'm glad you saved the hummer, but it was very cool to watch.

[RaidersFan2469]

like this doesn't have more views. Thats unfortunate.

[KasparWise]

power of the Mantis

[backwardation25]

Damn mantis.
