Hi JW
The Mantids eat insects, beetles, spiders and not sure what else.. they were
10 and the lady bugs (ladybirds) , the ones I really wanted eat the aphids
like crazy. Those were 10 as well.

I have two egg sacs and really only needed one to be honest of the mantids.
I can't imagine that many of them running around my yard.

How cool! What do they eat Joanna? How much did they cost?
