Invasion of the mantises There were 5 on the house this morning. Because of the porch light being on and noble false widow spider webs everywhere, there is an uptick in moths. Mostly the dusky raisin moths among others. California mantis,Geotagged,Mantidae,Mantodea,Stagmomantis,Stagmomantis californica,United States,california mantis,males Click/tap to enlarge

    Lucky you! I have a mantis egg case on a bush in my yard and I'm hoping it lasts through the winter to hatch in spring. Posted one year ago
