Another anticipating summer picture. In May of last year I released baby mantis all over my yard. Every week I'd spot a few of them. Then I went a good month without a sighting. In September after neglecting mowing for a few weeks I discovered an adult wandering about in the long grass. I'm hoping there was more then one survivor and I'll get new baby mantis this year. The tiny babies are ridiculously cute and the adults will actually watch you. You can see their eyes moving to track you as you shift. My next critter to try to get back in the yard is grasshoppers. We used to have hundreds of them before the lawn died. Now there are just some crickets and beetles.
