I started seeing TONS of webs everywhere in my garden. I was so excited...

then once august came around I notice a flippin huge praying mantis. BRIGHT GREEN like my plants...it was almost 8 inches big. I haven't seen her yet, but found a bunch of little ones the other day.. I'm assuming she laid eggs :)

I am going to be releasing lady bugs tonight...

My only thing is they all seem to be doing a GREAT JOB of keeping the aphids, spider mites, pretty much everything else to 0...never seen any of them... but i have the largest infestation of white flies...it's not even funny.

anyone have any tips... I'll see if the ladybugs do any damage the next week or so, i hear they multiply like crazy, lay like 100 eggs a day or something...

Great idea for those who need a protection force for the herb, A praying mantis is good yes? Kills bugs etc. The little chronic I have has little tiny aussie jumping spiders, I have a fondness for them as they eat all the flies that go by and a lot of other tiny crawlies. I seen the bastard jump at least a foot high to catch a blowfly once, Awesome stuff. The seem to like to hide under the lip of the pot with a big family breeding under it, So I stopped moving it and haven't had a problem so far. Maybe I got lucky with a garden with lotsa birds.

I used to have some for mine but they figured out the rest of the yard is more plentiful with bugs once they grew up.
