They fell into a bed of ferns and I could not find either one. So if one is on your humming bird feeder, move him elsewhere,<BR/>SallyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3491978464982051675.post-48817425836887391932008-07-31T18:14:00.000-05:002008-07-31T18:14:00.000-05:00Great bug profile.

I love that you showed the mantid egg case. I guess it is a bug eat bug world.~~DeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3491978464982051675.post-53202210597550980842008-07-31T09:05:00.000-05:002008-07-31T09:05:00.000-05:00Bob-I checked out your blog and the beetle is a un...Bob-<BR/><BR/>I checked out your blog and the beetle is a unicorn/ hercules beetle (a type of rhinocerous beetle).Wizzie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03515620191886499490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3491978464982051675.post-5184427357923068452008-07-31T00:01:00.000-05:002008-07-31T00:01:00.000-05:00I also saw your blog on Pam's site.

I have some interest in bugs and want to know more and like observing them to know more about them. If you could go to my blog at Dracogardens.blogspot and look at a beetle I found in my garden and let me know what it is. I think it is a type of Rhinocerus beetle but am not sure. If you dont have time, dont worry with it as it can remain a mystery.

We have had the cicada killers and tarantula killer sand even had baby mantids in the house. The egg case was on my citrus and they were running all over the place. I tried to pick them up on sheets of paper! Incredible little miniatures.Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.com
