Mini Manti

Mini Manti

These guys are rarin' to get to work in my gardens. They all look like tiny editions of Mom and Dad!! We were lucky to be there when they came scrambling out of their winter egg case! Envy us. We put at least a half dozen in protested places in the Fall.

Thanks to all who checked out the Manti. They evidentaly hatch at different times, since we keep bumping in to different sized helpers all Summer. What a busy season; no rain / lots of rain, many jars of canned veggies and meatless meals! Lost weight! Thanks manti!

How can we get them big enough to eat Japanese Beetles in time to actually do so?
