I'm giving you a review, but Bill this is mighty gruesome!! A praying mantis eating bird's eyesocket's or brains is certainly info that I would not like to dwell on! Mother Nature can be so cruel and beastly!

Ewwww, You just had to do it didn't you. I never said that I doubted you, it was just a shock to learn that Mantis' had that much power and strength. Wow, I am now reevaluating my opinion of the Mantis.

I've seen a picture of one the size of an ear of corn.

Wow! Now I am afraid.

That is disgusting--not your poem--the pm that does this! I did not know this & hope I never see it again. Hummingbirds are too precious for this! Although I do not like the topic, you did a great job with it. Jan

Thanks, Jan.
Comment from Gloria ....
Lord love a duck! What is that praying mantis doing? I had no idea they were that powerful. No wonder they consider themselves masters of the universe.
It's an insect eat bird world. Great poem and good bit of information.
Many thanks for the share.

Comment from lyenochka
Yuck! That's one of my favorite birds! Sigh. I didn't know this. I can't imagine that the mantis could even catch that fast-moving bird. I think you're making up for the horror gap left by Dean.

Comment from royowen
I must admit I was a little shocked by this terrible picture. (My own petty squeamishness) but that is one incredible photo, hummingbirds must be tiny. (Don't have any here! Beautifully written Bill, in tetrametric quatrains and aabb rhyming, skilfully done, well done, blessings, Roy

Welcome Bill.
Comment from Alexander Vasa
Hey Bill, that picture is something else. I never knew praying mantis did that. You do realize this image will stay with me for the rest of my life, LOL
I thought they were nice little stick creatures that fed off dew and flower honey, I have completely changed my opinion thanks to your well written poem, which I enjoyed a lot. Nothing to fix, and thanks for sharing your writing, Ana.

Comment from judiverse
Yuck! Gross! I just had dinner! I'm glad you're paying well for this one. It's too ugly for words. The picture is unbelievable. I suppose this is justified in the name of education. And they think people are bad! Not even Al Quaida would think of doing something like this. Do the female praying mantises dance while this it taking place?
