Praying Mantis

"Eggs Zachtly" wrote in message ... bushite said: Anyone here ever raise parying mantis'? I'm thinking of getting some egg pods and raising them for natural insect control. What insects are you trying to control, and where are you trying to control them? [...] Just general garden insects. I had a couple of them back 10 years ago and I used to hand-feed them. Really cool. So, you're going to train them to stay in your gardens? How many do you think you'll need, to show effective results as "natural insect control"? On the "cool" scale, mantids are right off the chart, but for insect control they're not all that great. Their effect is short-lived, and they target indescriminently (including beneficial insects and even resorting to cannibalism). my $.02 -- Eggs W.I.N.D.O.W.S - Will Install Necessary Drivers, Or Won't Start. |

Well thanks eggs. Maybe I should do a little more research. They are cool creatures though. |
