MURDER HORNET vs. PRAYING MANTIS, Survival of the Fittest

Downtown Square, Dahlonega, GA. Praying Mantis fighting with a Murder Hornet.

The hornet is not a “murder hornet”. It is in a European Hornet, a related species that is smaller than the “murder hornet”

Mantis had no chance!

[@Videoz4U2]

That Mantis was already half dead and the Hornet moved in for an easy meal.

[@zerodefectmachine]

Could be. I just walked up on them. Had never seen this before.

[@romey745]

Maybe, but I've watched three videos of Mantis Vs Hornet and the Hornet won every time.

[@rescuemethod]

how could you not kill the murder hornet? these are crazy bad for all insects and crops for humans, anytime you see one, please take care of it. Praying Mantises are super important, we need to protect them.

[@zerodefectmachine]

Didn't know anything about them at the time, I took this years ago.

[@rescuemethod]

@@zerodefectmachine well I suppose you were lucky to not get stung. poor praying mantis - not so lucky

[@nebraskabirdwatching9521]

Robert Klein This is a European Hornet.

He's not an expert. Going near a hornet is risky. If he gets stung your bad advice will get him in trouble
