Praying Mantis vs. Stinkbug

The other day, some time ago, I have had several Chinese praying mantises in my bamboo. They loved to eat stinkbugs and any other insect that was not alert enough. I loved those alien looking creatures and I missed them having around this year. Sadly last winter was much too brutal for the their ootheca to survive and our summers are a bit too short for them to lay more than just a few. Perhaps one day, they return. :)
