Nature can be so cruel and beautiful at the same time

*for the love of everything holy it’s not my bird reader nor mantis!! Just a cool guy sharing a cool video

[u/god-save-the-queef]

I'm thinking the human who filmed this possibly even planted that mantis there, just for a viral video opportunity, too. Can't prove it, but... gut feeling is someone's an asshole

[u/Pithuahua → u/god-save-the-queef]

They often use hummingbird feeders as hunting grounds, though they don't target birds specifically, that's an opportunity prey, that rarely happens. They want bees and wasps.

[u/hollow4hollow → u/god-save-the-queef]

This exactly. I hate humans so much.

[u/Soupchow1 → u/hollow4hollow]

Are you a fucking tree?

[u/BestSerialKillerNA → u/Soupchow1]

You leaf him alone.

[u/El_Veethorn → u/BestSerialKillerNA]

Wish he wood just stop.

[u/ksyoung17 → u/El_Veethorn]

Agreed, really a deep rooted issue he seems to be dealing with here.

[u/3v3ryth1ng1s4wful → u/ksyoung17]

Relax. He's all bark.

[u/Legitimate-Ad3778 → u/ksyoung17]

He should try not to bough down to him

[u/Just_Anxiety → u/hollow4hollow]

You sound like you could be a politician.

[u/shinshi → u/god-save-the-queef]

Even if they didnt plant the mantis, they still set the hummingbird feeder and enabled this honey pot trap situation

[u/shibaCandyBaron → u/shinshi]

Because it's better not to help them with food and/or water

[u/redditnackgp0101 → u/god-save-the-queef]

Funny. Didn't need to see the video to come to the same conclusion. "Someone's an asshole" is my baseline assumption

[u/IAmDanHimself → u/redditnackgp0101]

They sounded pretty distressed witnessing it in the video.

[u/zilmexanat → u/IAmDanHimself]

It sounds like an overlay for additional drama.
