food chainpraying mantis / wasps photograph
Hi Bugman,
Came across your site a few weeks ago while trying to identify an American Dagger moth caterpillar that I found crawling across my driveway – and found it to be a wonderful means of procrastination! 
Anyway, I snapped off this shot of a praying mantis stalking some wasps at my uncle’s house this weekend, and I thought I’d share it with you – if it’s good enough for your site, you’re welcome to post it. You could caption it: "pray before you prey", perhaps. Or "grace before meals". Just as the mantis pounced, though, my batteries ran out, so I couldn’t get any pics of the 20-second battle that ensued, most unfortunately. (The wasps "won", but the mantis didn’t seem much worse for the wear.)

Hi Jason,
We would love to post your image of an immature Mantis stalking a colony of Paper Wasps.
