Last November, while in Ohio, Daniel cleared some brush from his mother’s garden, and he discovered several Mantis oothecae on twigs and other places, including this tomato cage. Daniel moved the tomato cage with the attached ootheca closer to the house where his mother grows potted plants each year.
Probably Chinese Mantis Ootheca
Earlier in July, Daniel’ mother informed him she saw two Mantids among her petunias and the other potted plants, and when Daniel arrived late in July, they were still there, very well camouflaged and prowling among the blossoms.
Immature, probably Chinese Mantid
