Preying MantisSAVED from a brutal death
As we left a local shopping mall, we saw a group of teenagers throwing rocks at the wall. As we approached (my wife’s a school teacher, so she’s always ready to stop mischief in its tracks), we realized that the kids were trying to hit a Mantis! We shooed the kids away, emptied the contents of a recent purchase from the box, and transported the Mantis to our garden (we’d prefer to leave bugs where they are, but I’m sure our garden in the country is better than a huge expanse of concrete in the city – especially one with rock-wielding cretins roaming around…). Once in the garden, when I went to take the photo, the Mantis looked back as if to say "thanks!". We are in Northwest Ohio. Enjoy!
Thank you for your wonderful story and sweet photo.
