[nysbirds-l] praying mantid at feeder

2017-09-28 Thread Andrew Block
How funny is it that after reading an article in the Science Times on tuesday 
about mantises and hummingbirds getting caught by praying mantids that I'd find 
a big female Chinese Mantid on my hummer feeders this am:-)  Luckily the 
hummers seem to have moved on in the last few days so no chance on it catching 
one.
