A lot of you have already seen pictures when a spider eats a bird. But this is not the only predator that does this, there is also the praying mantis that sometimes hunts birds. I never thought that an insect could hunt birds, well, I was wrong.
In this selection, you will see photos of spider and praying mantis that hunt and eat birds. Only one thing to say - poor birds!

You just need to wait until it molts )
Obviously, physically there is only one spider, but its molted “skin” very resembles a real spider.
The whole process takes about 6 hours. It is not very pleasant to see, but it’s interesting.
