As far as I can tell they run into ME first. Kind of like the Deer when they panic and run straight at your car because they are blinded by the headlights.
Hey, these critters are GREAT for farmers with large gardens, they eat anything that eats your garden AND I'm pretty sure they eat Skeeters too! Some farmers buy their eggs by the thousands on the internet so they can stay organic and not need any pesticide.
Wanna talk about GREEN? Praying Mantises RULE!
