People sometimes want to rid their crops of these helpers. These bug-gy images are glorious! <BR/><BR/>Christina, you have, once again, made me smile broadly. And as for those tiny hummingbird eggs...have I told you about my obsession with birds and their nests? <BR/><BR/>Was waiting to give your post all of my attention.

I have a very humorous mental movie running through my head of an office full of baby praying mantises. <BR/><BR/>Pam: It has been here too, even though we're in such a drought. I love to watch them grow up.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12607821498331135305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-87916186319197968252008-06-12T15:00:00.000-07:002008-06-12T15:00:00.000-07:00I thought I was the only one who track the comings...I thought I was the only one who track the comings and goings of praying mantis in the garden!

One wintered in our house, the other at my office. One winter about February, the office tree was suddenly alive with tiny baby praying mantises. Obviously a female had laid her eggs in the tree the previous summer!Terry at Blue Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13504693954312787975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-21742142630511209852008-06-12T06:50:00.000-07:002008-06-12T06:50:00.000-07:00I envy you your garden.

I've been seeing "the enemies" - aphids, grasshoppers, slugs - so whenever the dogs and I are out for walks, I collect all of the ladybugs that we come across and release them into our yard. Funny actually, having to go out and find me some friends! :-PRowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15335673619430109527noreply@blogger.com
