A week or so ago, I went back to Stringer Nursery. This time I decided to purchase Praying Mantis. After the fiasco with the ladybugs (my fault) I decided I’d wait until they hatched before I blogged about it.
Mantids are purchased for the garden via one or more egg masses. After exposure to temperatures of 80 degrees or more, they hatch. I received a package with 2 egg clusters, which are supposed to yield 200 or more killing machines. Today I noticed that one of the clusters had hatched. I have tiny mantis nymphs all over the place. It is very cool, I’ll keep you posted on how they fair.
