Field Notes

Description:

Female Carolina Mantis just hanging around in the fog and adorned with remnants of spider webbing.

Habitat:

Meadows and gardens -- anywhere they're likely to find prey.

Notes:

While some consider mantids "beneficial", they'll eat just about any other insect that won't eat them, but good and bad insects. (Blog Post: http://bit.ly/nYqSSf)
