Tasty bee dinner

I was looking for my pale lady mantis a few days ago and I realized that there are two other mantis living in the wine barrel with her. They all seems to keep their distance but that day I saw one of the green ones watching the pale lady. So I got my camera set up... I used a monopod because I wanted to be able to move around easily.
The Pale Lady will tell the rest of the story...

Hi there, Farmlady. You may not want to watch this.

I like to bite the heads off first.

Then I eat the insides.I don't like fur or wings. They give me indigestion.

Then I clean up afterwards. Bees are kind of messy but very good with a little pollen sauce.

This image is spliced. To get both Mantis in focus, I had to use two different images and put them together in Picasa.

Well done and nice story. I have a picture in my head of your mantises' wine barrel home and now I have to add a Geranium pot plant.

Oh my gosh. Thank you all. When I get new glasses, I may get even better at this.

Wonderful photos and story. It sounds and looks like a good time was had by all excluding the bee.
