They are staying put quite nicely, which has me surprised.
They have covered all of my roses and are having a feast. I have put a little pine mulch under each of the bushes like they recommended so that they will stay local to the plants I have (I guess they set up apartment life in it) So far so good everything seems to be working well. :) "Joanna & Mark" wrote in message m... I went and got myself a little bucket, picking up the southern slang as I live here longer. :) I have made a nice little habitat for them and will hope and pray for the best. I am hoping to get rid of the little aphids naturally. I also got some of the mantis eggs while I was there. I will probably let one of the sacs hatch inside in a friendly environment to let my neighbors children watch. This is very exciting and I will let you know how it turns out.

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. Jo "Raleighgirl" wrote in message . com...
