Hello,

If you know how small hummingbirds are you will understand why I uploaded this capture into this section ;)
Hope you find it interesting!

Actually, from the "Believe it or not" category, praying mantises have been known to predate and eat hummingbirds, so the scenario you describe isn't as far fetched as it might seem.

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.
