It worked for me. Went to a video on a web site. Vicious video not for the squeamish. The mantis didn't slow down and had a nice meal. Nothing left but legs and wings!

          The problem as I understand it is-it won't be one on one. Yer gonna have the whole cursed tribe of those hornets to deal with all at once. Thinkin when those hornets bunched up is their form of fair. RIDE SAFE.

I like honey.  I like food.  Bees are pollinators. These hornets devour honey bees.  I've been attacked by kamikaze yellow jackets of normal size when riding, one in particular was bound and determined to kill me.  Wouldn't want one of these behemoths getting inside my shirt!

I say unleash hungry mantii on 'em all!

Seriously, I hope they are able to prevent those big ugly bastads from establishing themselves here.

I'd like to get a few of those Mantis'. But I wonder if they would eat the dog.  Smiley
