Didn't make it to lowes and my preferred hardware store didn't have the lumber I needed, grr. Probably gonna make hubby go in the morning since his "taking a 5 minute break" turned into doom scrolling tiktok in bed for an hour and a half
But his pic wasn’t light bleached! U can’t turn a whole plant white like that! It’s just something that pops up ever so rarely on a plant and the thing will be white or part white! If u could do that from light bleaching peeps prob be doing it on purpose just to try to make some Instagram photos that’ll get more likes!
Now if dude is advertising as if he has seeds available from said white plant then 1000% that’s Facebook hullabaloo cuz like with @Green Hornet and that mother plant there is absolutely no guarantees you’re gonna see it again and prob be astronomical odds that in a few seeds from same plant you’d get that trait!
Ya sometimes they will but these are still youngins! They were teeny tiny just a month or so ago when they showed up on the cucumber plants but I’m quite positive there are more around! Last year we had some bushes up front that died in the ice storm here and when summer hit I think the first day I saw a mantis on the bushes it made me look for more and found like 5 out in the open chilling! Finally pulled the bushes out in like October and was worried I maybe got rid of some egg cases along with their habitat but when I was putting Christmas lights up in December found a big honker still alive and kicking it on the fence to the backyard and got some bushes on other side of that fence where I think they laid some eggs cuz once spring hit and I started those cucumbers on the side of the house within like a week or 2 I came out to water and found the lil baby mantis kickin it! Need to see if I can find some more out back that I can move over to help guard the veggies! They eat a bunch and not so susceptible to dying if they get sprayed with lil insecticidal soap! Assassin bugs, predator mites etc are a lot easier to accidentally kill where these mantis may get unhappy but they’ll keep on a trucking if u blast them while spraying!
