I have watched several "praying mantis" capture and eat moths, and a few other insects. One night in particular stands out; There was a mantis on a bare light pole surrounded by moths. The mantis missed far more moths than they captured. Their adaptive advantage seems to be avoiding detection from prey. -------------- "Science is the horse that pulls the cart of philosophy." L.
