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.
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 5-7 days after ejaculation. On average, though, sperm live about 3-4 days once theyâve made it all the way to the fallopian tubes, where fertilization takes place. (A womanâs egg, on the other hand, is viable for only about one day once it leaves the ovary.)
