They (Mantids) Grew Up!


Earlier this spring Michael hatched a large batch of praying mantises and released them throughout the yard.  A few of these predators staked their claim in the flower beds. We have watched them grow all summer.  One of them is particularly aggressive to us and actually comes after us if we get too close! 


We enjoy observing all kinds of insects
but it is especially fun to have some good bugs in the yard!


 Here is what they looked like in May.
