Thanks guys! Yes everything is a meal to something else I guess. We have lots of hackberry emperors that hang out on our house walls & I've seen them in the clutches of spiders, mantises & house centipedes too.
Impressive Karen!
You find the most amazing things Karen! Awesome spot!
I don't think I have ever understood before how many insects eat other insects! I need a lesson on food-chains.
