Do praying mantis EAT humming birds? I have one that was perched ON one of my feeders yesterday, so I moved her down to the salvias below to eat bugs, & this morning - she's back on the feeder. So, I moved her again, & watched her climb right back onto the feeder! She's pretty large for a praying mantis, but I cannot imagine she could catch a hummy - much less EAT one - But if anyone has heard of this happening, I'll move her FAR away! Samantha
