Did you enter this picture in the Dave's Garden photo contest? I could well be a winner.
I wish I had seen one of these when I lived in Indonesia 14 years ago.

Thanks Jim for the suggestion. I'll add it soon. I'm trying to choose from my folders. Lots of work that!

I was caught up elsewhere and could not devote much time. Yes, there is always a next time. Will see the entries when time permits. Thanks jweoldsen. The deadline date stayed unregistered in my mind!

Here is a shot I took last month. This was the second wasp the praying mantis caught. The first wasp stung him in the mouth when he tried to bite it. He knew to stay away from the tail with the second, but couldn't manage to get in and take a bite. After 20 minutes the wasp had wiggled around enough to get the stinger close and the Mantis let it go.
