"Need to mention two real threats to these little birds here in central Georgia—the praying mantis and the robber fly! I lost possibly one or two of my regulars to one or both menaces this season." Dianne M.K, Snellville, GA 10/14/14
"Reminder: Praying mantis love to kill hummers, so don't forget in spring to be watchful of this hummer enemy! Give careful consideration for hummer feeder placement!" DeLynn E. in Winnsboro, Louisiana 10/22/14
