Rontes SI ft 176 Crystal Lake, III. Tel Crystal Lake 459-1631 This rather unusual. photo was taken by Rudy Bryant of Lakeland Park and shows a Maniid on a telephone receiver. The praving mantids, as they are called, are devout looking, but can rid your garden of pests who threaten it. The young ones feed on aphids. caterpillars and, other soft bodied insects, while the older ones feed on larger bugs that attack plants. In their growing stage they are very hard to see because they blend .perfectly in camouflage with the given. Mr. Bryant says he begins to notice them about August when ihev pre fully grown and start flying around. They attach the eggs to a thin branch of shrubbery or weed stalks, with from fifty to 200 eggs in each "case". The parent dies with the first frost and new ones hatch from the eggs in the spring. However, in this part of the country, where the winters are severe, the cold will kill the larvae and only those covered with snow near the earth usually survive. 4-H News Cherry Valley Club The Cherry Valley 4-H club met recently at the home of Dave Dimon with fifteen members and six guests present.
