Catch you on the flip side!

 

 

That snappy phrase takes on a totally different meaning with nature. Rather than hiding in plain sight on the flower's face, the Praying Mantis implements an advantageous back door approach, taking advantage of unsuspecting fly-byers. 

 

These marvelous creatures gain optimum results, thriving and surviving in a successful environment. They are most beneficial to Nerdin Gardens as well. The more they achieve, the less we worry about pests.

 

Some characteristics of the Praying Mantis:

  • possess a 180 degree head rotation
  • can snatch food right out of mid air
  • ability to remain motionless for extended periods

 

By instinct, they are stealth masters, adapting to surroundings, often camouflaging themselves among the flowers and greenery. These welcome guests see me long before I am able to glimpse their presence.

 

If the Praying Mantis can be successful in any environment so can you. Find what works to gain the desired results, implement and show your genuine self! You will benefit abundantly when putting forth maximum effort!

 

I'll catch you on the flip side!

That's what I need in my strawberry bed. Rotten little bugs have invaded.

I didn't know we had them here, but I found one in my flowers last year. Only one, darn it.

Praying mantis have always intrigued me! I have some great pics as well. They are easy to capture in a pic because they don't move...LOL!

Next spring Marte Cliff, go to your local nursery and ask for Praying Mantis pods. When they hatch indoors, take them outside(once freezing temps have passed on) to your garden and they will make themselves home. They are a great help to us here in Nerdin Gardens!

Thanks Wanda. I'll ask at our local nursery. It's pretty small, so doubtful, but perhaps someone in Spokane would have them.

There are several varieties of Praying Mantis that live together in our garden Sheila Anderson. I even found a Walking Stick one day and was mesmerized by it's jerky movements as it crawled down a flowering garlic chive. I have always found nature to be fascinating and our garden is a perfect place for discovery.
