Hi we had a nest of eggs of praying mantis sadly the gardener cut the bush and threw them away . In the uk you can buy them but where apart from catching them myself can I get some.

Hi Terry, we have quite a few nests in our garden, mostly attached to the bars the honeysuckle is climbing but there`s one I can see which is attached to a stalk, I could snip the stalk out I think without disturbing the nest.

Oh how lovely (not the bloody gardener). They are absolutely fascinating creatures. One climbed up my arm once and spent the rest of the evening sitting on my shoulder, to the horror of some of the guests!!
