Hummingbird meets Praying Mantis

Hummingbirds and Praying Mantis don't like each other.

[@cronosblow]

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

[@Ohitburns]

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

[@AriesLF]

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

[@thesuppishone]

Mantis: "I just want to shake hands... I promise..."

[@orcaworca]

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

[@hoserood8337]

look at those buff forearms on the mantis lol

[@yakimishi13]

I'm surprise the Mantis didn't try do eat it.

[@tessa6126]

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

[@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

[@wallys11000]

I'm glad the mantis didn't get them. :)

[@annecohen8927]

Get that friggin praying mantis OFF the hummingbird feeder!

[@ShellyCline]

Mantises DO kill hummers. But theres no need to harm a mantis. I always pick them up with my hands and carry them to my grapevine 100 feet away. Theres tons of bugs there for him to eat. This works very well.

[@TheTombot]

Thanks for the vid! It's fascinating to see nature in action!

[@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

[@acido44]

I think it's been helped a lot by putting it on a hummingbird feeder

[@MiniClayDude]

00:32 Praying mantis: "Hey little girl, would you like some candy?"

[@OrcanLord]

The bird is such a troll haha!

[@CarAudioMyWay]

lol... I like how the Mantis keeps still acting like its a twig in the wind while its walking

[@GreebleClown]

He just wanted a hug.. :(

[@gordonvick5437]

Poor mantis, he didn't get a humming bird. Maybe next time!

[@raulitotorres6681]

POR DIOS QUE ME PUSO NERVIOSO EL VER EL PELIGRO QUE CORRIA EL COLIBRI

[@OlinTunes]

Hummingbirds doesn't afraid of anything.

[@obeacerplus]

What a tease, waiting for it to strike... Haha cool video though

[@xaouqinz]

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

[@Jhihmoac]

Ohh...They get 'em, and they don't leave much afterwards...A mantis will eat whatever it sets out to catch...They have a voracious appetite!

[@jeanalisson]

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

[@TheHauntedReader]

Okay was anyone else creeped out when the camera zoomed in on the Mantis and it just turned its head looking at the camera? o.o

[@ExtendedAVA]

I wasnt able to see the green Bastard for secounds!

[@TranceRocker227]

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

[@Jta335]

I just saw the vid Mantis slays Mouse so I was fearful for the bird's safety. Good thing she was safe~

[@tnygp]

good music

[@Chrispoirier]

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

[@anablueseawright-dombrow9945]

how much i want that hummingbird feeder so badly please sent me that hummingbird feeder to ana blue

[@Imyourfather69]

very nice, good film quality, good music. keep it up, and what camera do u use?

[@RiceKiller191]

That music totally made the video lol

[@RandolphCthulhu]

Flight of the Bumble Bee

[@ConnieMendoza-qh7li]

Did another bird try to save it by pushing it back. When I was younger mantis would hangout in front of our store and just look at me as I would walk by. So guess they wanted to attack me? Which one did, drove me crazy.I've always hated them because of that

[@aland7234]

That song is from crash twin sanity when the bees chase dr.cortex

[@minkyblack]

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

[@yimldsru2]

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

[@HRHCarpathia]

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!"

[@Dracosgal8]

flight of the bumblebee classic :)

[@Egguana_]

i feel stupid for being scared of the sudden loud music when i played the vid. :c

[@SignOfTheTimes008]

you should paint the feeder green to up th mantis's chancs :)

[@ButtZilla]

that thing is massive!!!

[@jimstardust]

That was fun. Thanks for sharing it.

[@teamREPO]

That bird has so scared

[@TheCinderella29]

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

[@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.

[@Maxx_XIII]

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.

[@joswanlauwkung]

Yay..not gotten that beautiful bird

[@billcoff]

Thanks. I have corrected the spellling.

[@rbrine01]

I just love the mantis vs. japanese hornet videos. The mantis tries to bully the hornet and gets a taste of its own medicine. Sucker.

[@stpastabeard]

You know, he was trying to eat that hummingbird. Mantis's aren't too smart.

[@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.

[@Mistraker]

That is a very ambitious mantis.

[@Prayingmantis72]

CANT KILL A PRAYINGMANTIS!!!!

[@RawwrCx]

omg thats so cool but creepy 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!

[@40mikemo]

mantis got kited

[@phase866]

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

[@jasonmcbride8085]

Ummm to all the doubters! This is completely within the mantis's capabilities...They are like Kung fu Alien looking chop suey bad asses its no wonder the Asia s patterned a whole fighting style after them. Some Asian thousand Yeats ago probably watched one take on a bigger prey item and was like DAAAAMMMNN Im gonna put you in a little cage so you can teach me the art of kickin asses.

[@Meekamalaka]

Mantis head turn @ 0:19

[@losabuelos1]

Can't you guys be just friends?

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

Mantis style >> Hummingbird style.

[@pokealong]

Creepiest part haha

[@Darckseyes]

Hummingbirds are bugs? O_o

[@crazychicknono]

that preying mantis is a JERK! get ur own mantis feeder! lol

[@MorgueMaid]

@USN1985dos where is the "like" to click on for your comment, LOL!

[@MrNipperthegreat]

Mantis for the win bawhaha

[@damnu222]

That humbird is a little powerful for thr lil mantiis thats a brave mantis non the less

[@Vamp6661]

i hate seeing mammles being devoured by insects

[@Kingofchaching616]

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

[@wilknight12345]

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

[@karencolon5152]

Preying Mantis. It's not a religious bug

[@CT68]

actually, no, it's praying mantis. They got their name because of the way they hold their front limbs together, as if they're praying. The European Mantis even has the scientific name Mantis religiosa. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_mantis

[@karencolon5152]

Thank you for the reference. luv it

[@ThatJoker-tg6ij]

They act like ISIS

[@Revelian1982]

​@@karencolon5152You got owned. 😆

[@monimstarfox]

how about praying mantis meets RAID

[@KingdomheartsII]

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

[@andagolez7646]

Ummmm, why are there so many people shouting to kill the mantis? Most aren't big enough to kill hummingbirds, and you did see that most of thd hummingbirds flew away, right?

[@SummerRainer]

Trolled.

[@richardtiiird8464]

Do you put the mantice there for likes.

[@chadwick341]

More like a praying mantis death trap...

[@ricojaytanedo2267]

WTF I KNOW THAT SONG!

[@SuperFm101]

............. was that it ?

[@broadcastmyass4u]

@MorgueMaid lol you are a trip...

[@brainsosmooth]

@rbrine01 the hornet tries to attack the mantis to lay eggs on/in it.

[@jj44jj1]

kill bill music in the background

[@Raxes12]

0:27 Hi

[@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

[@tnygp]

@KingdomheartsII haha love this comment.

[@OrcanLord]

Don't know if trolling or genuinely deluded.

[@Hitherto90]

*to this degree

[@WatchUrHead1]

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

[@billcoff]

Panasonic DMC-ZS3

[@yuukicross011]

Get that Mantis off the bird feeder x-x

[@FunerealObsession]

I'm not hearing anything.

[@infinitecanadian]

Oh, but they are. They lie in wait, and often manage to catch one. Fuckin' campers, man...

[@scottt6407]

Its so funny watching clips of mantids killing hummingbirds,the ppl who feed the birds get so emotional calling mantids murderers and such,brilliant.

[@OverworldLord]

Oh, you mean the fake one you are using to try and get thumbs up?

[@davedingobeast]

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

[@VeggieNatureGirl]

Why are there so many dislikes? This video is awesome! Both of them are such cool creatures! Thanks!
