Exactly! : ) not sure if there are more. Didn’t do a very extensive search, more of a “hey kids come look at this golden ladybug!”

I know bugs and shit with eyes usually do that to deter or attract nature is wild! We’ve got the butterflies in our area right now, super pretty.

Yeah,I love mantises. Kept a couple as pets when I was a kid. Loved to watch them catch and eat grasshoppers. They never stood a chance. They love caterpillars too which makes them especially helpful in the greenhouse

Someone had a nest in their garden or orchard on here recently!!! I want to get them for the garden here! They probably eat lady bugs huh? Lol. The three year old would loose her shit if her older brother’s decapitating war machines were eating her lady bugs could make for some good bug battles though! : )

 

[orggrwr]

Yeah, I think they eat anything that moves, the good bugs along with the bad. Hopefully they go for the big juicy caterpillars and grasshoppers first.
