Predator Of The Garden
So I had just started eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and something out the window caught my eye. The praying mantis living in my garden had just caught a grasshopper for breakfast! It must have been a fresh kill because the poor grasshopper was still alive and moving it's legs! Yuck! The mantis started his feast on the head and continued downward. He ate everything, including all six legs so nothing went to waste! It was all over with in 30 minutes. It was interesting to watch yet sad and repulsive. I felt bad for the grasshopper but I know that the mantis needed to eat. That's nature for you. I lost my appetite after watching this and ended up throwing out the PB&J sandwich. Oh wellz.
