Strangely enough, this appears to be a good year for Praying Mantis around
Central PA.
In previous years, I'd be lucky to see one all summer.
I've seen a dozen this month alone, including one I saw this morning while
watering my trees.

Speaking of bugs--we've had a bumper crop of millipedes and
grasshoppers. Would the weather conditions affect the population of these?


Millipedes like dampness. Grasshoppers like dry -- and grass.

Go figure.
