Poor bird. Oh well, survivial of the fittest, or in this case, the fastest!

There is some interesting research on mantis' ability to accurately perceive the distance of their prey. Even after they molt (and the distance between their eyes changes) they are still deadly accurate. The theory IRC is that even thought the interocular distance increase, the length of their strike zone also increases, so that the ratio is proportional.

Wow, that's crazy.

Holy jesus, that's insane.

I'd love to see that in action.

That thread is a year old, some people may have missed it...

I've picked up tons of mantises (although few of that size), but didn't realize they could puncture flesh so easily. :Q
I suppose I should be more careful.

Though we tend to think of hummingbirds as cute, dainty little things, in reality they make bold and fierce competitors. They don't let their guard down for a moment while defending their territories from other hummingbirds.

why do they make it sound like a hummingbird will eat your face?

Because they will? Sometimes I swear I see them with little ninja hoods on.

Plus they are all on massive sugar highs... It's like PCP for them.
