I've noticed I have A LOT of these pesky things around my garden, my ooth from Home Depot finally hatched that I got for my backyard, just curious anyone know if these are dangerous for mantids? I know they eat plants and break up the cells or something?? Thanks! Right now they are the size of the nymphs and I know they won't even try to eat them, but when they get bigger, I want to make sure they don't all die from these evil things!!

p.s. I don't use pesticides in my garden!

I know this is an old post but my Chinese mantids ate Tarnished Plant bugs without any problems.
