Thumbs up praying mantis not a foe but a friend to your crop!
a praying mantis is a great way to protect your ganja from other insects to even small birds for organic growing it is a carnivore so no worries about it snacking on your hard work they can purchased on the internet and garden stores or if you know where to find them free. check out this video of a mantis fucking up a mouse

That makes a bunch of sense I never thought about it.

I remember when I was real young my parents got a christmas tree that apparently had a nest in it. Well we kept our trees up until easter and decorated them again on v-day and easter.

Sometime between December and April they "hatched" and a week or so after that we started noticing them. There were thousands and thousands all over the house. We just picked them up and threw them out when they died and left the doors and windows open as much as possible. It took forever to get them all out, there were a handful that grew up indoors.

Wonder if it would be a good idea to snip a nest (or w/e they're called) and put it at the plot(s)? May be a godsend to someone with seemingly insurmountable bug problems.
