Circle of Life - a photo on Flickriver

Circle of Life

            When I went outside onto my patio this morning, I saw my cat looking like she was ready to pounce on something in my lantana.  We get a lot of humming birds feeding in there and I thought she might have got one of them.  I saw something fluttering in the flowers and I went to get a closer look.  When I got there, I was surprised to see that a praying mantis, a very little one, had captured a moth.  Usually it is Gizmo that captures them.  I went inside to get my macro lens on my camera and capture the praying mantis at work.  Kind of an interesting way to start the day.
