Hungry, hungry praying mantis.

[minoreparations]

Here are a couple crazy pics of a praying mantis taking down a hummingbird. I've just gained a little more respect for the little shits. So CB7Tuner's, watch your backs. Praying mantises are on the prowl.




another to show the ferociousness.




Next time you think about messing with a prayer, think of these pictures.



End of story.

sweet!

"Shes killed everything that weve put in there with her.." thats great

1)did anybody else click the porn links on the side? i didnt, but was curious if anybody else had.
2)the mouse convulses, probably cuz "roberta" hachewed through a nerve or piece of the brain that controls movement, hence making the mouse appear as though its still alive trying to get away.
