I grew up in a suburban area in Ohio, not too far from the country and miles of nothing but farms. I was getting off work one night and as I approached my car in the parking lot, there was maybe a dozen bright green huge Mantids, all over my car, under and around it. Almost as if they were guarding it. I didn't know what to do. I was clearly outnumbered. I left and came back an hour later. By then they were gone. But it was the weirdest thing seeing so many in a parking lot in the 'burbs.
