dragonflyhawk.jpgHuman technology has a way of wreaking havoc on nature. Take, for example, the recent mass disappearance of honey bees that researchers have been chalking up to cell phone interference.

However, sometimes nature can't help but fight back.

A Manhasset, NY paper ran a story the other day, written by a local fifth grader, recounting a harrowing tale in which a hawk snatched his Wowwee Dragonfly out of the air. Overlooking, for a moment, the fact that the paper is printing stories by ten-year-olds, WowWee has stated that they're looking into the plausibility of such claims, adding that 45 people have reported similar attacks in the past two months.

Plus, check out the totally sweet shot that the fifth grade gonzo journalist snagged at left, the robotic insect resting in the hawk's talons.

Technology: 80,000,000, nature: 45.
