Last weekend, when we were cleaning off the patio, we noticed this praying mantid under the leaf of one of the sunflowers. The problem with these bugs is that they eat the good and bad insects, so I've learned not to get too excited when I see them in the garden. We took him off the leaf and put him in the strawberry patch, which right now is a buffet of ants and possibly a Japanese beetle.
Always nice to try a new restaurant!
ReplyDeleteI never move them - they look a bit prehistoric, so they scare me off!
ReplyDeletePerhaps the fare in the strawberry patch is just what he needs!
ReplyDeleteIn general bugs scare the #$@! out of me, but I've learned to calm myself down. Prehistoric is a great way to describe it. :)
