Praying Mantis vs. Spider

Type in &fmt=18 at the end of this videos URL and watch this video in better quality!!! It really does work guys.

This is a video just outside my door that I took of a Praying Mantis hunting 2 spiders, one which is already dead at the beginning and the other to be hunted. Lengthy little nature flick 6 min 24 sec and edited even still, the mantis is a patient bug.

@RngrHawk It's recently been suggested that phenom isn't "natural" In the wild, a male should be strong and swift enough to escape after mating. It's beginning to be believed the human presence (ie during recording and other situations) affects the process, and that's when we observe the female going nom nom.

Cool video. This is the first year i didn't buy tons of egg sacks & place them thru the yard but as you will see on the video i posted here. A really nice sized Mantid has been hunting on the back porch door because the light draws in moths.
