It's like the financial world: <Many eaters are also eaten by somebody. Kahawai eat herrings, and are eaten by kingfish. >

Working for a living at the bottom of the heap up to $ill Gates, Warren Buffett and Carlos Slim at the top [government spivs and bludgers of course get more but they are simply thieves robbing people of their efforts].

Praying manti have always interested me. NZ's natives are nearly all gone with South African [or other invaders] having displaced them.

A few years ago, one on our patio was evaluating our daughter Emily as a potential dinner. She was disconcerted to see it considering her. She exclaimed that it was after her. Indeed it was. I hadn't seen that before. They become quite tame when domesticated. Sort of like a pet dog though not so sociable.

In the financial world, what looks like dinner can turn out to be bait with bigger predators lurking.

There is a serious problem with man-eating tigers in rural India, but one clever solution is to wear a face mask (with eyes/nose/mouth) on the back of your head. Since tigers instinctively attack from the rear, they get confused by the extra face and go off looking for a different victim. ;>)
