The Praying Mantis

Pest insects better say their prayers when there's a praying mantis roaming around because they'll dine on pretty much anything they think they can make a meal. Larger mantises have been known to snatch hummingbirds out of the air as they fly by.

Mantises are long-lived creatures and can live 6 months to a year, but rarely stick around in one place that long. They're nomadic creatures who pass through an area, wreak havoc on pests and head on to other feeding grounds. They can be purchased, but tend to be expensive and may not be a good option to buy because of their tendency to roam around.

If you want to attract mantises, provide them with plenty of hiding places. They like bushy plants and flowering shrubs, so plant them close to the garden and you might attract a mantis or two.
