Yard/garden help question: I have sometimes seen praying #mantis insects in my yard but the last time was more than 5 years ago and I miss them. The yard has plenty of insects and unmown brush spaces so that isn't the problem. Is there any way I can re-introduce wild mantises to my yard?
I do get a lot of birds because I have 8-10 different kinds of berry bushes: maybe they are eating the mantises? I also have wild rabbits and maybe they eat them as well: rabbits will eat insects sometimes.
