Isn't that always true in any situation (like cowbell)? ;-)

You can buy mantis egg clusters for your garden from most nurseries, they hatch out by the hundreds. I buy a few every year, but rarely see full sized mantises (mantes) in my garden, and never new egg clusters. I did catch one a few Octobers back before it got cold and kept it alive until spring in my window plants, but I think they normally die before it freezes outside...hornet queens hibernate underground if I remember correctly. :-(
