Predator

The Preying Mantis is one of the most fearsome predators for its size. This 10cm long Mantis was lunching off a large bumble bee; the meal only took about 20 minutes. Now I really know I'm back home in Africa!

I use to see a lot of them around my house but I haven't seen any in years now. I always enjoyed watching them.
