Just the other night, later in the evening at 7 p.m. or so, the weather was balmy and warm, an unusual feeling here in northern California. Paige was outside playing when she suddenly comes running in at full speed screaming for me to come out and look at the "inthect" out on the deck. She wasn't screaming in fear, just excitement.
"The 'inthect' is just like the one in our book!!"
Sure enough, Paige had spotted a Praying Mantis just like the one in our insect book right on our very own deck. Now I've only found one Praying Mantis, ever here on the farm, three years ago. It was a beige colored one, just like this one and I found it here........
