Dinner Time
I chucked on the macro lens this morning, intending to photograph a golden orb spider near our back door. Out of the corner of my eye i saw something floundering. On closer inspection it was a praying mantis absolutely annihilating this poor bee. This shot is after he`d ripped his head off, you can see the remainder of the body in his other hand.
Taken with a Sigma 150mm, 580 EX II and a Canon 40D.
