Now this is clever and brought a smile. I didn't quite get the one about eating the bird so I had to skip it. The PM is a strange looking creature but kind of cute at the same time. Marilyn

Bill, this is a nice specimen that you have selected for your art work. I like your play on the word "prayer" and "preyer "! Two lines of connection and a clever satori.

Oh you are clever alright. Don't think for a second that I didn't catch that play on words. Yes the Mantis is indeed a predator who preys on unsuspecting victims and if it is at all possible, he probably prays for new victims to come his way. I keep reading you works, mainly to see what life form you will choose next. LOL.

Yes, food must be foremost on the preying mantis's agenda. Just keep it away from me, or my cats may prey on it. You should be entering some of these in contests, like the 5-7-5 going on. It's unusual enough to attract attention. Great last line that preyers get answers. Clever. judi

You've chosen an insect this time that I'm especially fond of. Praying mantises are so much sweet to play with.
They certainly do look like they're praying. Think that's how they got their name? lol

Good puns here, Bill. I am no longer sure if it's "praying" or "preying" but it does like to eat its prey. Yes, that "preying" predator does get his answers!
