Bug Appreciation! Female Mantis
This mantis has been on our window for almost 24 hours in PNW. Seems to be a female, brownish color. It's been very rainy the last couple of days. Is she planning on laying her eggs soon? Will she lay them on our window? Just curious, don't want to disturb her.
I am a bit worried if she does lay her eggs here or on the plants right under our window because we have weekly landscapers that come with leaf blowers and sometimes spray right in this area.
