Invaders

Green walking sticks are invaders in my garden… spy rings of mantis.

Actually, the mantis's do keep some other damaging insects, at bay. They're creepy enough, though and I'd rather take my chances.

Hi ML!! I can picture your 'walking sticks' ! I've never had an invasion of mantis, but sometimes I do find some 'praying' on my plants. All the best. // paul

I think that perhaps a neighbor may have added a colony of these critters to their garden; I've never seen so many in one place. Thanks for stopping by.
