Well, we have a new addition in our house. It's almost a tradition now. The last couple years, my kids have caught a praying mantis & let it go in my kitchen garden. It becomes a really fun game of "where's Waldo" but its "where's the praying mantis" instead. This one's name is Carol & I assume she's pregnant & will probably leave an ootheca or 2 somewhere among my plants. In the meantime, she'll be enjoying long walks among my plants, plenty of stink bugs to eat, and just relaxing in the evening sun. lol And we will snap a million pictures of her every time we find her. Praying mantises are so neat!
