My girlfriend has been integral in this whole mantis project
and she called me while I was out to say they were all in the pool and she was
saving them as fast as she could. Well, she
pulled about 20 of them out of the pool and totally saved them before I could
get home and close the pool cover. After
that, I saw that they all seemed to be emigrating, heading West, directly
toward the pool, and were climbing over the cover, and on to greener pastures apparently.
