Garden Police on the Case

Last fall, my neighbor and I searched the back yard for mantid egg cases without success.

We thought maybe the feral cats had devoured all the praying mantises.

So while weeding this past week, I was very happy to discover an inch-long baby mantis on a leaf.

We hope there are many more who will grow to garden-patrol size.
