That looks like the larger Chinese mantis rather than the native Carolina mantis. Very cool.

Great pics of the mantis! I've been taking pics of one in my sedum plants along the back fence. It's a Chinese mantid, too (brown and green, like this one).

Didn't know they could eat a hummingbird. They eat bees, and there are hundreds of bees on those sedum plants, so I'm sure the one I've been photographing is well fed.

I think it looks like Zorak off of "Space Ghost Coast to Coast"

Ha, I love that last one. Caught the biggest I've ever seen the other day here at work and brought it home to my son. They are so cool.
