[QUOTE="Coneja, post: 245364, member: 6970"] Hello, everyone... with a stretch of warm weather here, I've been thinking a lot about trying to find wild mantids. After reading/researching about the subject on this site, I've learned what kinds of areas to look in: overgrown, meadow-y, someplace with lots of feeder insects. Seems people have been finding lots of ooths lately (and Digger's ooths fall from the sky ;) ); are these from last year? At this point in the season, are any wild mantids pretty small still? (Seems a lot of the big mantis collections go on in October.) Has anyone else had success mantis hunting/collecting in Western Washington? I've only ever seen a few mantids in this state and that's been in Eastern Washington, but I just got into this hobby in January so haven't been actively looking before that. I'm obviously new to this, so any advice/tips are greatly welcome! [/QUOTE]
