Preying Mantis (Not for Squeamish)
Sandee Faust of Fair Lawn writes:
I walked out of the house and saw a butterfly. It was only moving a little bit.
As I got closer, I saw the Praying Mantis. I ran into the house for the camera. I never knew a Praying Mantis would eat a butterfly.
It ate the entire body, but not the wings. (Thanks, Sandee, … I think!)

What beautifully vivid colors in those pictures. I am sure something will come along and eat that praying mantis also!
