Praying Mantis Kills and Eats a Hummingbird

OMG....I am so glad insects have those heavy exoskeletons which keeps them from growing too big

Okay, that's just really freaky. I knew they ate frogs and stuff, but hummingbirds? Wow! *is impressed*

Personally, it made me a little nauseated (but just a little!). I don't like the idea of insects acting with intelligence and planning (ummm....eeeeeek) and I definitely do not like insects taking out creatures that have blood and fur (or feathers). The next praying mantis I see is getting squished! And there are a ton of them around here....
