Praying mantises are one of my favorite bugs. I found a large one a few days ago and let it crawel on me for a bit.

When I mow the horse lots or bush-hog the fields, I run into pockets of them numbering in the thousands; most of them about 1-1/2" long.

If they are in grass or brush and don't move, they more often than not go undetected, even to a sharp eye.

Definitely hard to see. Was watching a hummingbird flit around some flowers at my sister’s house. Hummingbird didn’t see it either until it was too late. That mantis was FAST.

Have seen a few recently, wish they were here earlier so they could have had a diet of potato bugs! Does anyone know, do potato bug eggs overwinter in the soil? If so, guess I need to sterilize soil or not plant potatoes next summer.

If you mean Colorado potato beetles, yes they overwinter. Sprayed mine with Colorado potato beetle beater this year. One dose and no more beetles!
