I walked up the front steps just in time to see a bee land on this marigold.  Just in time to see this praying mantis reach out, grab the bee, and eat it.  

 

I was so happy to get this picture, because I wanted you to see the praying mantis up close, with its prey.  WOW!!! 

 

Who needs The Nature Channel?  We have it going on right here on the front porch.

 

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
