This mantis is huge and managed to overcome his attacker by using his massive arms. He's clearly been going hard at the gym but the looks of him!
Who wins in this battle between a giant preying mantis and a bird?
Thursday, August 22, 2013
Remember this? Well it's happened again and the battle for life and death was won by the Mighty Mantis. It would seem this sparrow like bird thought he could have a tasty dinner of preying mantis but how wrong was he?

Humming bird.
ReplyDeleteactually huming birds do not eat insects...
ReplyDeletei asume this one was caught, when aproaching to a humingbird feeder.
Since the bird presumably does it regularly, the mantis was just clever enough to wait for the humingbird to come...
