I was trying to capture bees in flight when something large went across my view. I looked to the ground behind the bush and saw this praying mantis slowly creeping towards where the bees were. I just tracked it and got some great shots!!

Oh, cool. This may gross some other people out, but it's a great catch of real life. Hope you can get something this good for the bug challenge next week.
Full marks for effort and timing, its not often you see them with food. As a photo I am getting distracted with the stuff in the bottom of the frame and it feels unbalanced. I also feel that a touch more postproduction would have helped.
