Praying mantis youngster.
About time we get to see your beautiful bugs! How’s it going? Got a lot of mud daubers around here that paralyze an insect and lay an egg on it, and then deposit into their mud chamber! Unfortunately, most of them are supposedly spiders! Oh well! I don’t argue with mother nature!The female hunts in dead wood for the grubs of the European rhinoceros beetle which it paralyses by stinging it and then lays a single egg on the larva. The larval wasp consumes the beetle larva apart from its skin. Once the beetle larva had been consumed the wasp larva builds a cocoon and pupates, emerging from the cocoon as an adult in the following spring.
Yeah that female was a beauty, very impressive and not agressive at all.About time we get to see your beautiful bugs! How’s it going?

Well, you might wanna rethink that! I’ve wound up with no Kulu Valley! And the last Uzbekistan threw me a face full of balls this evening! Lol! So long story short, the only one I have is the Cali China x Panjshir! But she is an interesting one, and I’ll shoot a picture of her tomorrow! The last couple of months are kind of a blur. I don’t know where all this shit goes to! Lol! I just take stock when the dust finally settles!Yeah that female was a beauty, very impressive and not agressive at all.
Doing allright thanks, busy with working and gardening.
18 year old doggie had a serie of strokes, she recuperated really well, only her balance isnt great yet.
We've been having a mediterranean heatwave, around 40°, thinking of building some kind of automatic watering system to make it easier for myself and spent less time with the mosquitos that are pretty nasty around watering time.
Got quite a few of the Punto Rojo going, will make seeds again and surely some will be able to find their way towards your part of the world.
What happened to the Kullu Valley?Well, you might wanna rethink that! I’ve wound up with no Kulu Valley! And the last Uzbekistan threw me a face full of balls this evening! Lol!

Thats a pity about the Kullu, but even more reason to sent you some Punto Rojo seeds for next season.I’m not sure what happened to all of the Kulu Valley! I probably killed a few around germination and then there were some males! Recordkeeping is not one of my strong suits! Was putzing around the garden last night when something caught my eye! The last Uzbekistan! Lol! Going out back in a few and will shoot a picture of the KC x panjshir! Really tight nodes! Hoping it will grow up to be a, cousin it, plant! About 5 feet of brick shit house! Lol! Have a few Mazar, Sinaloa, and Jalisco, still going and one crippled hunza valley that might pull through!View attachment 2468210
