GROSS: Camera Captures Footage Of Praying Mantis Eating Fly Alive

A short sequence showing the amazing predatory nature of the Praying Mantid, Mantis religiosa. In this video you will see a fly which mimics a bee, eaten alive!

This praying mantis is found in both Northern and Southern hemispheres wherever there is a warm climate. Whilst capable of flying, they do not catch prey on the wing but instead wait in ambush.
