Re: Mantis versus Jumping Spider
I had also witness a previous encounter,and the story ended the other way round.Well in that previous encounter it was a juvenile mantis.CY you are lucky to have covered the entire action.
Just wonder how long does it lasted. |

Re: Mantis versus Jumping Spider
Thanks all!
Alan: spent about half hr shooting this. I must have encounted it when it just caught the prey...cos it was mostly intact in the first pic. Mantis are known to eat fast.
