I haven't seen many of my mantids lately, most of them seem to have moved off to find homes in the bushes around my porch. However, one has made his home on my basil plant, so I've named him Milton. He moves about a bit, but after a few minutes hunting I can always find him there somewhere. Mantids can rotate their heads through almost 360 degress and they have very good eye sight; every time I look for Milton when I find him he's turned his head and seems to be staring at me - which is actually a little creepy. Especially after I watched him catch, rip in half and then devour one of his borthers/cousins the other day.
