Unless you are a male mantis... they are great bug eaters. Get the egg
cases earlier in the spring next year.

We had a female outside our office door for a week or so, she turned a
cool gray color. Kept stealing from the spider's web.

zone 5-6. I only saw 1 baby and a few others later some distance
away. Are they worth having as friends. Thanks Joe Mc
