Oh wow! A praying mantis flew from the northmost carrots into the nearby Jasper tomato against the vertical structure! Definitely flew. Is green and skinny. Amazing camouflage! I wonder if someone in the neighbourhood bought a mantis egg sac and this fellow made his way here. Not many "pests" around for him though -- although, tons of sparrows visiting the yard and I read that mantises can eat birds -- yikes...
Hadn't seen any mantises since that first one a few years ago, whose egg sac never "hatched" the next spring.
