I found a tiny little praying mantis a while back. It looked like a little twig with legs.
Gave him a ride to my veg tent, and forgot about him (or her?)…
Released ladybugs to eat white flies-
Then saw my mantis has quadrupled in size…

Just a question, if you have a mantis in your tent…what are you hoping it is going to eat? Any insect issues you have in an indoor tent is to small to feed a mantis.

Mantis are one of my favorites. Found an ootheca attached to the stalk of one of my outdoor plants one year. Always a good luck sign.

I like seeing them just rip up something.
I seen a spider last night eat a bug. I was happy.
I have a soft spot for pillbugs.

Lady bugs, wasps, and green lacewings. Those are the ones that make me happy to see on my plants. Oh, and the Colorado jumping spiders. I haven’t seen any praying mantis this year and very few paper wasps.

This video helped me out a ton drawing a link between insect susceptibility and brix level. Highly recommend watching if you have issues with insects of any kind!

As I went into the flower area, a ladybug started buzzing around 
I held out my hand, it landed in my finger💗
Then I felt it kinda massage my fingertip with it’s legs and wiggled it’s but AT THE SAME TIME-
This was the cutest thing ever, until it walked away, and I noticed the big brown turd it just laid…
