those are weird situations... unless...
the flower produces a poisonous pollen
the insect uses its gaze to subdue its prey before striking
he looks up at the cliff face to discover a boulder plummeting over the edge
the cyat's leaping distance allows the proximity to ensure a good hunt
and the bird was egg bound until that very moment, dropping said egg which happened to calcify previously and thus strike like a rock thrown from on high
TA-DA!
