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.
In fact, the consistency of the mucous even helps the sperm make its way (commonly referred to as âswimmingâ) through the vagina to the cervix. Under ideal circumstances, if healthy sperm get beyond the cervix into the uterus and up to the fallopian tubes, they can live as long as five to seven days after ejaculation. On average, though, sperm live about three to four days once theyâve made it all the way to the fallopian tubes, where fertilization takes place.
