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
Sperm needs a warm, moist environment to survive. Otherwise, it will perish quickly. Outside of the body, sperm will only live an hour at most. Its lifespan will depend on a variety of environmental factors and how long the sperm is exposed to the air. While sperm will not live long outside of the body, women should avoid having a man ejaculate anywhere near her vagina if she is avoiding pregnancy.
