Praying Mantis 1, Wasp 0

[Slew Foot]

I heard some fire trucks outside my house so I went outside to see what was up. I brought my camera along just in case there was something exciting to capture but it seemed like nothing interesting was going on from the house the firemen went into. But looking over upon my flowers I saw a mantis chomping upon wasp which I decided to photograph.

We used to have preying mantis at our backyard, and I used to feed them live flies that I caught.

Praying Mantises have been known to even eat birds, mice, snakes, etc. Ruthless.

Wasps blow. Mantids rule. Some of the ones around our house are brown which I thought was kind of interesting.

I searched google for the pictures of the mantis vs hummingbird to show a friend after remembering this thread. I stumbled upon a video of a mantis vs mouse. OMG those things are vicious killers.
