I remember a line in one of her chapters that went something like this: "Birds gotta fly. Fish gotta swim. Insects, it seems, gotta do one horrible thing after another." <br /><br />Just a wonderful book! <br /><br />RickR.

You don't want to see anything get eaten, but to capture such a moment with your camera must have been very exciting. One of my coworkers came upon a praying mantis battling a yellow jacket over some prey, tried to capture it on his cell phone...not quite the same. But rather amazing, nonetheless. These photos DO remind me of National Geographic, as one of the commenters said.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734831781770841734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-71849419794303780172011-08-22T15:02:09.546-04:002011-08-22T15:02:09.546-04:00I almost felt like I was at the opera.
