Yocum Gets Mantises From Father In Pennsylvania After reposing in tlieir cases for a month, the praying Mantises have come out for the summer in quest of aphids and other insects. About a hundred of them, active in spite of their youth and size, play hide and seek in a glass jar on the desk of Mrs. Harry B. Yocom, of the zool ogy department. Mantis is an entirely advanta geous insect not common in the United States except in a few states. It was introduced into Pennsylvania by a scientist, and is considered beneficial there because of its help in extinguishing plant pests. It is a native of China and Japan. The newly hatched insects are dark gray punctuated with bright green eyes and three pairs of long thin legs. They crawl around on the bottom and sides of their cage in a stalking manner as if on the trail of an enemy. Later they will develop green wings for locomotion and their bodies will change to green or brown. When full-grown they usually measure two or three inches in length. Besides destroy ing aphids and small insects they also eat larger prey, such as locusts. Last month W. M. Beekley, of Pennsylvania, father of Mrs. Yocom, sent her a great number of Mantis egg cases which consist of dried balls of foamy secretion fastened to tiny branches. As she did not know whether it was entirely desir able that they should be introduced in Oregon she wrote to Dr. D. C. Mote, entomologist at O. A. C., tell ing him about them. In replying he advised her to guard the cases and to put the hatched insects on rose bushes and other ornamental shrubs. Some of the Mantises will be kept in captivity in order that their growth and development may be ob served. The others will be released soon as they cannot live long with out food.
