    "Wow! I never would have guessed a mantis could kill a hummer like 
that."

    Wow, neither did I!  I remember reading some years back of a large 
dragonfly successfully taking down and feeding on a hummingbird.  The 
mantis report is a new one for me.
    Way back, as in early dinosaur times, there were dragonflies with 
28" wingspans (fossils have been found in coal beds).  Anyone care to 
guess what they could bring down and feed on?  Fledgling pterodactyls?
