Still here this morning and I was so happy to get photos of them in the flowers. I think 3 are around today. They were chasing each other. Another mantis. I have dozens. I get a bit concerned for the hummers...Yet I try to either move or just see where they are. Not in my entire life have I seen this many praying mantis. I love them. Never knew until a few years ago, when I started getting more into bringing hummingbirds to my yard, that the mantis is a predator to them. No good!! But I do not want harm to the mantis either.
