Was trimming bushes last week and found a praying mantis ootheca (100-200 eggs). And then yesterday was out locating some underground water and electric lines, and ran the wand right next to of all things a praying mantis in the grass. What's up - a first for several of us involved on both. Is there some kind of praying mantis invasion?

In my area it seems to be a rotation of critters year to year.
Few years ago we had pheasants and then turkeys.
This year there's a bumper crop of wascally wabbits.

Sitting on the back deck last night with the pups and this deer just ran by. The boys were not at all pleased.

This little fellow visits multiple times a day looking for scraps. He sits, scratches, and waits.
