The Mantis and the Fly: ISO 800, 244mm, f/6.1, 1/1600

I was watering our gardens when I seen this Mantis emerge from our Boxwood Planter.

I ran inside to grab the camera and hoping that she would still be there when I returned.

I did not notice the brave fly until I processed the image on a larger screen.
