Dinner time for preying mantis.
These pics aren't for the squeamish.
The beetle or whatever it was, climbed up the back of the preying mantis. The preying mantis stood absolutely still until the bug got high enough that it could reach around and grab it. That was all she wrote for the bug. Nothing was left of it inside of 5 minutes.
These pics were shot with a Canon 100mm macro lens with Kenko extension tubes on a Canon 50D.
