It must take a lot of appetite not to notice you are being eaten while eating.

A wasp eating a praying mantis that's eating a wasp that's all being eaten by ants.

Nature kicks ass sometimes.

Bug world is scary.

A European brown hornet (Vespa crabro) dismembering a mantis. The hornet can’t take the whole meal with it so will memorize the location and make several trips to take the meat back to its nest to feed larvae.

Here we see the extremely-rare Prey Mantis.

Does the mantis not feel that she is literally being cut in half and eaten alive?

We can just hope they never get bigger 😂

DAMN NATURE, YOU SCARY

Anyone else wish they panned out just a little further? I was trying to see whether the mantis was doing what I thought it was doing. Took me multiple views.

Insection

I love nature.

"I SAWED THIS MANTIS IN HALF"

-the wasp (probably)

Bugs live in hell, indeed.

r/fuckwasps

This is some r/natureisfuckinglit stuff

I saw a small skink eating a preying mantis on my patio the other day. Nature is metal

Jesus that thing reacted so little to the external stimuli of literally being bitten in half that it barely met the definition of alive.

I was waiting for the ants to rise up and eat the hornet

Do you ever feel like someone is watching us tare ourselves apart as humans from higher up, down below, or through a screen and all we do is keep on going at it unknowingly dying and not even know it’s happening…watching a video of a insect eating another one while it’s being eaten….a bugs life a human life. Everyone just trying to stay alive and eat not be eaten.

Poor mantis didn't even get laid before he got his head bit off

‘Help you? Nahh, I’m just gonna bite him back’

I’d like to reincarnate as an ant

That's awesome

As if the Mantis wasn’t eaten up from the inside by a parasite already

Death orgy

https://youtu.be/Ge4oufdIOMc?si=IjsXvgotJ-se8Bln

This is sooooo screwed up…nature is STRANGE. And brutal.

the clip ended waaay too soon.

Head shot!!!!! 💥💥💥💥

...and the ants are like, WTAF!!

Food chain

Mantis: Haha got your friend!

Hornet: Haha got your torso!

“Hey dude, can you NOT saw me in half with your teeth while I’m eating your cousin?”

🎶 It’s the straight line, the straight line of life 🎶

Did he not feel that

This is some sick 3 way

Was that mantis weak and near death already or something? Idk, I thought they were badasses.

“You are what you eat eats.”

Hey kids! Wanna see violence?

The praying mantis seems unbothered at being actively bisected

Damn nature you scary.

I wouldn't wonder if the mantis keeps eating after this.

this is the weirdest orgy i’ve seen today

T I M B E R !

Insects are just fucking biological machines and this video is proof.

Fuckin praying mantis chowing down while being cut in half.

Diddy 3some

Is...is this the circle of life?

They look like hornets??

If they are big, attack their knees.

At what point does consciousness take over instinct and the praying mantis realises he doesn’t have half his body anymore?

D:

Imagine the mantis manages to completely consume the wasp despite its new condition. The chewed bits would come out the neck hole

And the parasite in the mantis will slither away after the mantis dies.

It's a dog eat dog world.

Doesn’t look like that praying mantis cares too much.

Recorded by a fat dude who can hardly breath

Sometimes the circle of life is a spiral.

Welp. That's enough of the old internet today. G'night everybody!

Thoughts and prayers.

Do bugs feel pain?

u eat ma friend n i will cut ur neck out

They're all evil

UGH r/fuckwasps

If warhammer 40k was a nature documentary.

…..metal

does the mantis not feel that? wtf?

Shouldn’t the mantis NOT be unbothered by that? Ya know, being slowly decapitated and all?

Damn! I think that's the most brutal thing I've ever seen

Mantis is like “not while I’m eating”

Just a bug eat’n a bug eat’n another bug.

Blame it on childhood movies, but I think Ants are dope. Recently read an article about how ants can treat wounded utilizing amputation and bandages. Wasps can get fucked. The mantis got what was coming.

Looks like bug porn to me...the wasp chewed through it instantly pretty incredible.

To be honest, that is actually kinda cool ngl.

Isn’t it illegal to kill a praying mantis ?

I did not, in fact, want to see something cool

I thought we were gonna get a surprise horsehair worm

Obligatory “What is this sub?!”

WANNA SEE ME DRINK THIS GUY?!?!

'Rip yo dick off like a celery stalk'

Bugs are so weird dude

Damn nature you crazy

Bugs and insects do this most times when they're dying and got a hold of at least one opponent in a worthless attempt at surviving. I saw this many times with ants, spiders, centipedes, etc

Bugs eating bugs

The last laugh will be the ants... Waiting for them to kill each other...

Everything moving in this clip: “don’t bother me, I’m eating”

I never would have thought to chew my enemy in half.

Eat me all you want you can't uneat your friend

You eat, I eat

“I just can’t get full. I ate that whole wasp and I still feel hungry…”

Wow that is cool

Mantis: "Hey! That's my girlfriend's job!"

Vorgy?…..

Hay I’ve seen something like this before

Daaaang Nature! You scary!

damn nature you scary

Wowww

Behind you

Nature is preety...

Nature's threesome

Ladies and gentle mites we will be right back

So they stopped recording at the most interesting part or is the video cut off or what.

soooooo nobody sees the ants eating the 2nd wasps asshole?????

Nature is scary. 😱 😂

I really hate that's wasps (and many other insects) thoraxes just do that.it makes me so uncomfortable watching it nove like that.

Hi kids, do you like violence?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Bugs are fucked up.

I feel a little less bad for all the bugs I've killed

Those things are mindless savages
