I was totally in awe of the speedy reaction of this Praying Mantis when it caught it's prey. I witnessed it catching two meals. It was so quick, and amazing to see, and a first for me.
Thank you for the views, and comments.

I would like to get their secret on staying slim for as much as they eat Tigz.
Super action capture.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
He was so well camouflaged, the bee probably thought he was a leaf. Excellent capture Sandi.

Music is what feelings sound like.
You sure had to work quick to capture this beautiful and the composition is spot on with stunning colours and light.It looks like it went straight for the bees pollen .

That's an amazing capture, Sandi. I bet I would never be fast enough to get a shot like this. Outstanding work.

Amazing & outstanding capture, Sandi. The mantis looks like it is devouring its meal quickly ... a bee pehaps. Nice detail as you caught it in action.

That mantis is really a loveable sort. Its giving that other bug a big hug. I guess it will invite it to dinner. Captured at that right moment Sandi.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.
Great Macro! Mantis's don't play, and are very good at getting their prey.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Light foot 1967
Amazing insects. I had one as a pet in Japan and yeah, they move up so slowly they almost appear to not move at all, then BAM!, the prey is nailed. We would take him out of his cage and get him to dance as we moved our fingers back and forth in front of him. He had no fear of us. My detachment kept ours (green just like this one) well fed until it was time to leave for the next duty station. When we did we released him back to the field where he was found.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
You've done a perfect job my friend by providing us this excellent macro!
