Praying Mantis

Ok for all you out there that are afraid of bugs... I ran into a praying mantis today while working with curly willow branches for a wedding this weekend. He was attached like a leaf on the twigs and just resting because he had been in the refrigerator at the flower mart in Carlsbad. We woke him up and then let him go in our garden full of great things to eat... be gentle with life you never know what good thing might be in your pocket. (praying mantis eat white flies, aphids, mealy bugs and all kinds of things that hurt our plants!)

Check out this blog and their great ideas!
