Mother Nature wisely instructed this little creation.....
"Do not build your house upon the sand"
So it chose a sturdy little Tulip Poplar to house its eggs upon ;0)
I have found three Preying Mantid egg cases this week and all were carefully placed on baby Tulip Poplars. (Update: 2 more found but this time on baby Maples so I guess they like saplings of any kind ;0) Who could say insects aren't smart..... at least about some things!

wow I didn't know that!
I'll be observant and look/note for such here
same thing last year but I should probably amend my post to say "the tulip poplar is the favorite in at least MY YARD anyway" as I am sure where they resided here, the poplar was the only sturdy tree... other than a few baby maples scattered amongst the flowers & weeds ;0)
