PRAYING MANTIS
On growing up i knew that praying mantis were a small devil. Their praying posture and annoying green color did not make the situation better. So many of them i saw at the end of 2009 prompted me to dig out for any possible advantage of having them around. This may just interest u and especially if u have a kitchen garden or many acres of land.
Praying mantis can be used for pest control. This is how....praying mantis females deposit a sticky egg case on the underside of a leaf or on a twig. If the egg case survives winter, the babies, called nymphs, emerge in late spring or early summer. The nymphs have voracious appetites and typically cannibalize each other if they don't have an adequate supply of aphids and other small insects.
