When food fights back

[Attack Chicken]

Title says it all LOL Found this mantis inside the house back by the screened-in backdoor. Needless to say I don't think this girl was very happy about a bunch of birds trying to get her through the screen. I've never seen one "flare" up like this and actully jump at a chicken's face before. One brave bug for sure!

(No chickens or mantis was hurt. Took her outfront away from the chickens after she tried to attack my face

)

We found a Mantis outside and it wouuld puff up and hiss at us when we triied to present it with a bug for food. They are getting ready to die, this time of year, and are probably pretty unhappy about it...

Oh my.. that's

Anyone else think of Kung Fu Panda and Master Mantis when you saw this?

I love it! When I was a kid, my dad noticed a mantis eating a small lizard in our yard and took a pic. I've got the pic and should scan it in!
