Awesome praying mantis discovered!
Found this great picture at our annual visit to Hallson Gardens in October 2008. Still one of my favorite pics of all time!

Hi Darin!
That is a great picture
The praying mantis really stands out against that mum (Chrysanthemum 'Bolero').
Thanks for sharing!

Hello, Darin!!!! And welcome!
What a great photo! Thanks for sharing...
Nice coincidence for me, too...I just came here to post a pic of an egg sac that I'm hoping is from a praying mantis. If not, I'm going to destroy it! It's way to big if it belongs to a spider!!!!

Re: Awesome praying mantis discovered!
Thanks for the 'welcomes'! We sure wish we could hang out more in Cement City with Chris and Brian, course the summers in Oregon ain't so bad either! But for those of you visiting between Oct 15 and July 5, bring your rain gear! I'll look for some other good pics to post and let my bro tell us what the plants are! Cheers!
