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
Once sperm travels through the cervix, however, its lifespan increases even more dramatically. Sperm may survive in the Fallopian tubes for as long as 7 days, but generally survives for around 3 to 5 days.This means that fertilization can occur even if the sperm are deposited as much as a full week prior to ovulation.n general, if the semen is still wet it may well have live sperm. Once sperm enter the female body, however, their lifespan increases. Inside the vagina, sperm can only survive for about six hours, as vaginal secretions contain acids that break the sperm down pretty rapidly.
