I do not know the source of these pictures, but they fascinated me. It is a waste to send them to the recycle bin. So I made a research about praying mantis and spider.
Here is the spider, seemingly secure in its spider web.
It has constructed web, glistening like polished platinum,with a "come hither" charm.
The construction of the web is done during the night, so the little poor spider must be snoozing waiting for an insect to come by its parlor for breakfast.
This is the praying mantis which obviously has taken the color of the branch to which it was "attached".The praying mantis is sometimes called the dragon because it is a fierce hunter.The female eats the male mantis after mating. Small as it is, it attacks butterflies, bees, beetles, frogs, spiders, mice, lizards, and small birds.
Praying mantis has good eyesight, so it was no wonder that its attention was directed to the sleeping spider.
Spiders have eight eyes, eight legs, two body parts, outside skeletons, and fangs.
The mantis knows how to attack. Before the spider could snare it in a web, it has gotten hold of one of the legs.
The web caught the spider itself, so that its other legs could not free itself from the hold of the mantis.
The praying mantis bites the back of their victim's neck to paralyze it.
Praying mantis' front legs are not for praying but for holding the prey.
