Hummingbirds
Anyone out there that feeds hummingbirds, please beware. Praying Mantis can kill them. If a hummingbird doesn't want to land on it's feeder, check it out, there may be one waiting for it to land. I was going to post a photo showing the Mantis with a dead hummingbird, but it was too sad looking. But then what can you expect from a Mantis, the female eats the head off the male once they mate.

Interesting! I did know about their nasty mating habits, but didn't know they are a threat to hummingbirds.

I didn't know this either, Patty. Thank you for the warning...
