A preying mantis has moved into the houseplants that live on my deck. It’s pretty funny to see her popping up on the huge plants in the corner, or the little ferns low down. It drives me a little nuts because I never know where she is going to be, so I can never water without fully checking each plant thoroughly. It is such a compliment though that she thinks my deck is a suitable place to live.
