Man, Thats a clear picture!!
I've never imagined a mantis could do that!
We have some here but I dont think they get that big! We have walking sticks so big that a person can make a fishing pole with!!
your friend,

My mother in law in Colman just south of you caught a mantis attacking a hummer she was so mad at that bug for about a month. I had to laugh. :-D
