metaquoteslederhosen put "Predator fail." as the subject line:Seen last night on our back window:
2-Inch Praying Mantis: I am a stick. Pay no mind to me. I am lurking death. I am nothing, nothing at all. Come closer. I am a killing machine honed by millennia of deadly struggle.
Extremely Small Moth: [ambles up the windowpane, bumps into 2IPM's stomach.]
2-Inch Praying Mantis: AH GOD MOTH MOTH MOOOOTH GETITAWAYFROMME! [falls off window in panic, flapping its wings frantically.]
Context sometimes entertains with Australian wildlife.
HA!

Thanks. :)
