From commentor Feebog:
Attached is a pic of my harvest from the middle of last week. Grape tomatos, early girls (still going) and romas. Plus a yellow zuc and a small bell pepper. I’m in SoCal and the weather, except for last week, has been surprisingly mild.

This mantis took over a large blooming sedum plant on our porch for a couple of weeks. He was right next to the front door so we called him Buggsy the Doorman. I left the porch light on at night to attract more food insects for him. He grew from a nymph to an adult, then wandered off on his mantis business. We get a lot of mantises in the summer and I always try to protect them because we like big cool weird insects.
