Praying Mantis

Can you see him?

I’ll give you a hint…Look for the bee’s butt he is chewing onWinking smile

When I discovered him hanging out in my corn a few weeks ago I told my four year old that I had a new friend in the garden! When I showed him that he had caught a bee he said-

“Mommy, your friend is eating your other friend!!”

Yes he is but I’m sure he is eating some “Non-Friend” bugs as well! Plus we get TONS of bees. It makes me happy to have all of my insect “friends” in my garden!

It’s one of my favorite things about organic gardening!
