Wow! Such a very unique and dramatic capture! This must be from the series you talked about....Terrific shooting, Kathy! #1584302Kathy Shogren August 25, 2014
Thanks Barbara. I was very shocked to see this happen. The praying mantis was only about 1-1/2" long and I had no idea he would be able to go after this very quick hummer moth. Survival of the fittest I guess. #11116017Michelle Alton August 25, 2014
