Preying Mantis Cocoon In Winter <<>> IMG_8826 - Version 3

            Sabino Canyon Nature Walk On December 30th, 2015
We Miss Ned Harris!!! I am praying for his speedy and complete recovery of his back issues...

Praying (really Preying) Mantises are avid hunters of insects, especially effective against flies, mosquitoes, bees, wasps, crane flies, grasshoppers and crickets. Praying Mantis egg cases contain about 200 eggs. Eggs will hatch when temperatures rise in spring, and hungry Praying Mantis babies will emerge. At the end of the season, females will lay several more egg clusters to continue the population the following year.
 
Wasps deposit their eggs in the Praying Mantis egg case. Fortunately, the wasp babies eat only a few of the Mantis eggs.
