Been posted here a few times. When I was growing up we saw mantids sit near the hummingbird feeder.

It's okay!!! (I think.) Some of the newer people may want to watch it.

This was an unfortunate experience for the hummer, but we are amazed to realize how fast, precise, and powerful the mantis must be to accomplish such a feat!

Darwin strikes again!

i think that this could be amazing in the natura, but i know people who catch birds to feed their mantids, in this case i think that its a masacre :S
