Description
Newly hatched, this praying mantis moves from flower to flower. Praying mantids eat a wide variety of pest insects, mites, and insect eggs. Mantis egg cases are commonly released by gardeners looking for general garden pest control without chemicals. Young mantids prey upon smaller soft-bodied insects, while adults graduate to larger pests. As soon as they hatch, they look for food. In the early 1900's the praying mantis was introduced to Philladelphia, PA. The came from China. While we consider a mantis to be good for insect control, very large insects have been known to eat bees. Still, I prefer to have a beautiful mantis than other insets which destroy gardens!
