Quoting Walt <[email protected]>:
An interesting development occurred at the hummingbird feeder this
morning. I've been taking shots of a mantis that's been hanging out
there for the past several days. Then, late last night, I noticed
there were two of them there, but the light was so low I didn't even
bother to grab the camera as focusing would have been out of the
question. So, I put it off hoping they might still be there this
morning.
Well, they were. And it seems they've gotten one another's
attention. The one on the bottom actually struck out at the one on
top before scurrying back down to the bottom of the feeder.
Unfortunately, I wasn't quick enough to capture it. But, I was
pretty happy to get this shot nonetheless.

The bottom one certainly looks a bit agitated - not sure how he/she
manages to hold on the the feeder. It looks a bit slippery.
