Greetings all! Well, it is autumn, which is a time of year that marks the end for many of us insects. We are either going inside people's homes, looking for warmth, finding overwintering sites, or dying off after we've left our future offspring in protected places.

I thought I'd share with you a little about those nuisance insects (not me, a mantis is NEVER a nuisance!) that commonly invade houses in the fall. Most of them are harmless, although they'd certainly make a tasty meal for me!
