Nature attacks: boy films bird catching insect in flight

With much of the world's population living in the large, urbanized metropolitan regions, witnessing true scenes of nature in progress has become increasingly rare. When we think of hunting animal scenes, then, it can be said that most of us can spend our entire lives without ever seeing it in person.

This, however, was not the case with Dave Wisniewski, an activist from the US state of Arizona. One day, while leaving the house, he noticed a large insect resting on the wall and decided to take his camera to record the finding. Approaching the animal, which appears to be a large grasshopper, the animal leaped away and tried to escape, but was caught in midair by a bird of prey in the midst of a grazing.

Check out the unexpected attack in the video above. To follow the capture in more detail, just slow down the recording through YouTube options.
