National Geographic reader Sharon Fullingim took this fantastic photo of a praying mantis catching a hummingbird (and believe it or not, this isn't the first time we've featured such a story). Moral of the story? Don't ever mess with a praying mantis.
From the National Geographic user submitted Daily Dozen (September - Week 1, no direct URL I'm afraid) - Thanks Marilyn!
The thing that gave me a deep respect for the force of nature was in Indonesia when I saw this spider no bigger than a pinhead that somehow had conquered a bird the size of this humming-bird. The locals told me that that little spider could incapacitate a human for at least 12 hours...
Lots of bemusement on this side of the pond. Can't think what all the fuss is about - politico encourages children to work hard at school for the good of themselves and the country? Ain't that what politicos are supposed to do?

There is a video out there of a pod of orca whales chasing down and killing another baby whale. In the end all they ate was its tongue and left the rest to rot.
Some day, no matter how big each of us is, we will all be eaten by tiny worms and flies.
