Praying mantis egg pod. The babies hatched about two weeks ago. I am starting to find them now around the garden. I am sure there were more pods, but I was watching the one. This little one is brown on a green leaf. Must be still learning color camouflage.
Praying mantis are good. It could be said they do not make a big difference in a garden, but they snare moths, crickets, grasshoppers and flies with their front and back legs. Their heads turn 180 degrees.
