"The moment a praying mantis attacked and ate the head of what appeared to be a deadly 'murder hornet' has been captured on video.

Since the Asian giant hornet - nicknamed 'murder hornet' - arrived in the United States last week, reports of their lethal venom and ability to kill humans have quickly spread.

But a video shared by Nature is Metal on Twitter showed a giant hornet getting overpowered by a praying mantis.

Footage of the grisly take down captures the praying mantis quietly eyeing the hornet from a few inches away. "

So, yesterday we had a HUGE swarm of bees fly past our house. It was the noise that made me jump up and see what was going on! So loud.

They have been investigating both the bnb and our house for a place to set up a new hive but we have been diligent about keeping them away.

My garden does have lots of wild flowers for them because they adore them, but I don't need a hive at all!

I've encountered bees like that a few times in Pesky. Loud, high pitch, and then the shock of the size of the swarm. Freaky for sure. Get them early if they try to settle. Takes a pro to get them out.

I'm not worried.
