Project: Join us for this week’s Fridays in the Forest workday at Quakertown Swamp for invasive praying mantis control. No, they are not protected by law! For a variety of reasons, invasive praying mantises have become quite numerous and are taking a toll on our native insects – including the struggling monarch butterfly. Help us look for and remove the egg casings of the invasive type. You will be taught how to distinguish our lone native species from the three invasive species.
