Praying Mantis And Honey Bee
Artist

Medium
Photograph - Photography
Description
While strolling through my garden, I noticed a large Praying Mantis slowly creeping up a basil plant. It stood motionless and the bees ignored it, going about their business. In the blink of an eye, the Mantis snatched a bee from the air and began devouring it alive! Other bees came in close to rescue their hive-mate but it was too late.
I had my Nikon camera with a 300 mm lens as I was photographing helicopters and water-tanker planes attack a fire not far from my studio. Because the mantis was deeply embedded in the maze of basil plants, I had to manually focus for this shot. Aperture; F 6.3 Shutter speed 640/ sec. Lens 300 mm. ISO 200 Focus Mode; manual
