Re: Praying Mantis catching/eating a bird

yeah, hummingbirds are really small, though a praying mantis isn't going to eat it all in one sitting i wouldn't imagine, lol

still impressive

maybe it will just be a trophy.. i mean, who's going to fuck with him when they see that, the street cred is invaluable

Re: Praying Mantis catching/eating a bird

those praying mantis hurt like a mother fucker... one jumped on me going down a tubing waterslide at schliterbahn and scared the absolute shit out of me. i fell out my tube, freaked out and SMACKED the water and he fell off me... but i had a big red welp on my leg. mother fucker... i hope he drowned.

That's like you or me eating a fucking elephant. It's 3 times the size of him.

But yeah, he's probably not gonna eat it all in one go. Still impressive though

Re: Praying Mantis catching/eating a bird

You know, if someone bet me in a bar that a mantis could take out a humming bird...I would have thought it a sure thing to bet against them. That is bizarre!!! And yes...talk about street credz.
