@6t5 The Mantis probably taught him all the martial art moves. There're two unrelated praying mantis styles: northern & Hakka.

@Stormstallion this is true as birds already have an extreamely fast heart rate to begin with.

@Stormstallion Oh ya, didn't think of that but you're right birds are pretty badly effected by stress. Still doesn't explain how the mantis has that good of a grip on with those tiny legs.

[Stormstallion]

@MrPitseleh Hummingbirds are very susceptible to stress - the trauma of the attack causes them to have a heart attack. Basically, their body betrays them, making them easy prey for a mantis.

ill crush that shit with my boot

[MrPitseleh]

How the hell are mantids that strong? You'd figure the hummingbirds fast beating wings would allow him to break free or that the mantis would either fall or drop it with only 4 tiny legs holding them up there.
