The mantis impales the hummingbirdâs chest with its foreclaws. As you can see from the photographs this hungry mantis captured and killed a hummingbird not much smaller than itself. The mantis used its spiny left foreleg to impale the hummingbird through the chest while leaving his right leg free.
Time Frame. The normal time frame for sperm to live inside a woman's body is two to three days. However, sperm can live inside the body for five days as long as the conditions are favorable. For the conditions to be favorable, fertile cervical mucus must be present.
The going rate for most regualar sperm is up to 72 hours. Many die off in the very acidic vaginal canal within the first 12 hours. However, once in the right cervical fluid conditions, they can survive much longer. They can be found with weak motility in the tubes for up to 7 days. However, the most important thing to remember is the capacitation, which is the sperm's ability to fertilize an egg. This goes down dramatically after 72 hours.
