I sure hope not! Went to get the newspaper this morning and checked the rue plant on which I found a mantis yesterday. No mantis this morning. This was in its place. Hope it's a vegetarian. (It was 60 degrees out, so this guy stayed put.) Update: They are now, several hours later, sharing the same rue plant, one on either side of the plant. Note: Why did I plant rue? I'm sure not going to eat it. I guess I liked the blue-gray color: http://www.alchemy-works.com/herb_rue.html
