I am looking for prey
The mantis lurks prey on a branch of Prunus armeniaca. These insects used to be common in gardens, but their population has been very small in recent years.
Well they don't discriminate. I saw one grab off a bee and eat it the same way, kind of like an eagle with a fish. Start at the head and work down to the tail.
Oh, I missed this banner! sorry Luka. The big mantids make me shiver a little when I come across them suddenly in my garden. They watch your every move..... Nice banner!
