    mantids eating.

    It was bound to happen - I'm 100% positive that the mantids I have been finding are hunting, it only makes sense that I should find a couple eating.

    mmmm yum this is delicious...



    Don't you think you're getting a bit close??



    BACKOFF! this is MY fly!



    And yes, it was indeed a fly. Two different mantids involved in the same occupation.

    Cool shots.

    I like the motion captured in #2. Looks like he's starving.

    What was it eating? Could it actually finish it?
