Today I counted seven Praying Mantis in the yard. One of them has taken residence at the top of a Butterfly bush. She (I think) stays near a flower and waits for the next meal.
There can be 2 or 3 Monarchs on the same B' bush. They flutter all around that Mantis but always out of reach.
I have not seen the Mantis catch or eat one, yet. There are no telltale wing remains either. I will not interfere.

On another note.
Here is a squash bug with Sarah in the back ground.
