Indeed C.Sydes, when ever one thinks... aah nothing interesting will be happening in the garden... a mantis catches a bee.... ;)
infuriating for you, but you caught the finale
Thank you Johan! I was outside without my camera when the action started! I had to run and just got the pics as she was descending into the depths of the lavender bush!
Nice one!
