maude Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Pulling out the last rapidly collapsing tomato plant today and was seized on the thumb by a 100mm long praying mantis!Only seen 3 this year in the Vendee,but this one I didnt see!Where do they go in winter,or do they turn up their toes? This one was in good condition and looking fat,even though it couldnt quite get my thumb in its gob. Maude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
