People are so dramatic about them yet break their arms to pat themselves on the back planting invasive trees and bushes that they thrive on lol. Make it make sense. Anyways, in my opinion they’re not so bad. Especially if they’re not harming anything, just more of a nuisance to plants. A new food source for our species of wildlife, much like the marmorated stink bug has now become. Seeing as how they’re not likely going anywhere, may as well embrace it. Just had preying mantis egg clutch hatch earlier this morning, no doubt if any show up here they’ll get what they can. Thanks for another great video.
