I'm sure a witch would be better, as she could probably cast some kind of hex to keep everything away and make a potion to super grow your plants. Or she'll just turn you into a toad, be careful.

Ladies' are great. But Mantis' are supreme beings. All bow down to Mantis!

Ladybugs eat aphids and very small pests like that. Put simply, a praying mantis will eat or at least try to eat anything that won't eat it, including ladybugs and hummingbirds.

You have to gauge what kind of pest is going to be a bigger problem.

Buy both.
They sometimes don't stay in your garden a week after you introduce them but both are beneficial.
