The little mantis that
lives near my door had caught and trapped it in its claws a colourful beetle, and was dripping
fluorescent lime green saliva on it's head, maybe to entrap or digest the beetle, but that didn't
work, as the beetle escaped and fell to the ground, and when I returned the beetle to the same leaf
the mantis was on, it was ignored, and walked away.
