I turned on my water at the spigot today and I saw a baby prey mantis. Then when I went to pick it up i saw 18 of them on my siding of the house. I immediately stopped and gingerly collected 3 at a time. Mann are they small only 5/8 of an inch. I carried them and put 1 on each of my 12 hop plants. I went back to the spigot an hour later and they were all gone. I am glad i put them on my hops when I did. I wish I could of taken a picture, but time was of the essence. I hop they stay.
 
I had to laugh cause today my youngest daughter found a bunch of Mantis's today also, I wish I had some Hop plants to put them with.
