What Next?

Mantis egg cases for sale on the internet marked down from $12.50 to $11.99! I'll have to start collecting. With autumn drawing to a close mantis egg cases can be found all over the farm. Maybe I'm sitting on a fortune and didn't know it...hahaha!

[Margaret Pengelly]

@kenreen @triciaodonnell @busylady Thanks for looking. Apparently they are a gardener's friend because they eat all sorts of other bugs and insects. Even the babies begin by eating tiny aphids etc.

[Shirley Chetwynd]

yep they look like liquid gold Margaret, lol

[alia_801]

Great close-up! I was wondering why people would buy them at the market... now I know!

[Tessa]

Same here was wondering if some one was just out to rip people of. Great shot. Now I know what it is.

[Amanda Thepanda]

We used to have heaps ... now not so much. Maybe the frogs ate them!

[Dione Giorgio]

Great capture!

[Geertje K.]

Great capture of them and thank you for the information, didn't know that.

[Robin]

Good heavens; who'd have thought they were worth that much? We have plenty of them here, too.
