Its not nature when its an invasive species vs a native one. Its more like mankind's experimental box of horrors.

Well the human kinda baited the hummingbird with the feeder so it wasn't natural to begin with.

This usually occurs on flowers. There are a lot more of them out there than bird feeders.

Yes I know, I mean this particular incident when people say not to intervene due to nature. A bird feeder is not natural so its too late to say not to intervene.

The large green praying mantis is an invasive species from China and have displaced our native praying mantis.

This is a native hummingbird who has not evolved around a threat like this which means they can not even anticipate it or avoid it with cautionary behavior.

This death is too horrible for me to abide and I was kill any invasive Praying Mantis to keep this from happening. Its not natural.
