Predator and Prey #2 by flyfish70

Here is the second photo I’m putting up of this meeting between two of my favorite locals. I actually took around 8 photos of this and was in a pretty big hurry to get the right one before the mantis tried to eat one of my hummers. In this shot, the mantis actually started to make it’s move on the hummer. So after this shot, I quickly removed the mantis, and over to my rose bush it went. In the state this mantis was in, I thought it a good idea not to grab this one by hand, and I was right. When I put a leaf up to it, it immediately stuck at the leaf and I have no doubt that it would have struck me as well, not pleasant feeling at all. Hope you like my two photos!!!!!! As Is / Canon 40D / Canon 28-135mm / Shutter – 1/250sec / F-stop – f/5.6 / ISO – 100
Predator and Prey by flyfish70

I was called out to our feeders by my wife yesterday morning. She told me we had a little predator out there. I went and looked and this mantis is what we saw. I could not get to my camera fast enough. It was pretty cool to watch this mantis and the way it would move watching the hummers waiting for the perfect moment to nab one. I have seen photos where mantises will snare hummingbirds with their front legs, so I was fast to get the shots. As Is / Canon 40D / Canon 28-135mm / Shutter – 1/250sec / F-stop – f/5.6 / ISO – 100
