I wish we had some here, I think they are so cool. Pass on the peppers!
Hi Joni, I have never seen so many. Must be the weather was ideal or something because they are everywhere. I can;t eat peppers at all but the kids asked me to grow some so I did...
Wow! Nice picture. We hardly ever see mantis around here any more. There were more of them when I was a kid, I think.
Stacy, Alan says thank you. This is the first year I have ever seen more than three or four a season. Must be they like the warm dry weather.
We have those here and they get really huge! This year we've had more of those ones that look like a leaf. I always see them this time of year.
Lucky you!
Ours are mostly smaller and brown.
Hi FC, of course after that I had to go look up the reason for the color differences...which is basically that they come in two colors. We get a few brown ones too, but lately, only great big, incredibly tame, green ones.
Rosie, I would love to see the leaf ones!
I have been seeing many of these this summer also! Great shots!
hey, heres a fun fact. When two praying mantises "get together", the female eats the head of the male. Scary stuff, eh?
Thanks, mon@rch...like most teenagers, my son is much better than I with the digital camera
Thanks Gary, the kid let one loose in my house plants...glad it was a little one. lol
I still can't believe you allowed that monster to turn one of those loose in the house I have to live in. I'm already continually attacked by moths, now icky little mantises too???!!!
Poor Becky beset on all sides by ickiness. Aww......
