...I had no interest in raising any praying mantises, as I thought they were pests too, but one of my friends when I told her about the butterflies/ladybugs I got for Christmas said no, they EAT ALL PESTS! So now I want to order some of them as well and give them to any friends who have garden pest problems. I may even buy more habitats and make this a really big hobby. I absolutely love butterflies and ladybugs!
I just got a butterfly/ladybug habitat combo set for Christmas and I'm waiting for the caterpillars/larvae to arrive in the mail. I don't know if my apartment complex has aphid problems or not, or even what they look like. I'm thinking about raising praying mantises too, but I'm uncertain how I'd feed the babies until they're ready to be released. I can buy an "egg case" which according to Insect Lore website contains anywhere from 75-200 mantis eggs.
I love that accent

@justlikeneo Yeah, that's what my friend Laura got across. She actually said they are "like the Terminator; they kill EVERYTHING!" Lol

@Lavenderrose73 be careful with praying mantis' - they eat good AND bad bugs. They even eat eachother.
