Praying mantises are also known to capture and kill hummingbirds, as a reader from West Chester, Pennsylvania, describes. â BWD. The other day while I was working in the yard my son urgently called to me. âDad, a praying mantis caught a hummingbird!â. Not sure what to expect, but knowing my son is not one to make things up, I came running to see for myself. By the time I arrived it was too late for the poor hummer and my scientifically minded son had already begun taking pictures and studying the scene.
they say that sperm can survive for up to 5 days although this is only in the right conditions eg fertile cervical mucus usually they would last for 2 hours and that would be just prior to ovulation when your cervical mucus resembles egg whites
November 12, 2011. The American Pregnancy Association states that once sperm is dry it is dead. Sperm cannot be brought back to life by being re-moistened. So if the sperm has dried it is not going to get anyone pregnant. Experts have differing estimates on how long sperm can live outside the man's body. Some report it can be up to five days if the sperm stays within a warm moist environment, such as a woman's cervix. But outside of the human body, sperm have a much shorter existence, from 20 minutes to an hour, depending on such factors as exposure to air and humidity.
