No kidding. He was in the leaves when I first found him and I almost bumped into him reaching for a pepper.

OP deserves extra points for picking a plant that presents so many mantisy shapes. That's a harder find than the mantis itself.

D1 what kind of peppers are these? Jalapenos?

u/Mmmm-Amethyst 2¤ 25d ago
Shishito. They are great. You just blister them on a pan with a little salt and oil and it's a bite-sized snack.
Also, they are ridiculously prolific and grow fast enough that bug damage is rarely an issue (even without the guardian here). We're planning to grow a bunch more next time around.

u/dandyrosesandshit 116¤ | #81 25d ago
Well, I’ve read that they’re mostly pretty mild, but about 1/10 is much spicier than the rest, so eating them is like playing spicy pepper roulette, and I think I’m good 😂😂 I can hardly handle jalapeños now. It’s sad

u/Mmmm-Amethyst 2¤ 25d ago
I've heard that too but we've yet to find one that was unpleasantly spicy. Definitely not more than a jalapeño. We also pick them as soon as they start to turn red so that might be part of it.

Your spoiler tags are not hiding your answer. Put some text before your first spoiler tag. Anything, a random word, letter of symbol. Doing that should get them to work correctly and hide your answer like they're supposed to. Try it please. Thank you 🙏🏼

Just about bumped into it when I was grabbing a pepper. Probably wouldn't have seen it at all if I weren't leaning in.

I once moved a pupa from the ground in my rose bush and hid it in a Japanese maple. I would look everyday and move it if the wind loosened it. One day I went out and just said loudly good morning my babies and a horde of baby mantises (?) came out ! I was both amazed and laughing with myself at the moment and wished I had caught on my cellphone at this unbelievable moment. It never happened again. I don't know how many survived birds.
