I’ve had the same experience, they’re my favorite bird by far.

That’s nearing the time to lay eggs. They were likely attracted to the foliage around that particular building.

Thank you for the first non pheromone answer, that I recall.

The buildings are all surrounded by the same grass and parking, the mantis flock to only one building out of many?
Inside you could probably find everything from aluminum to zinc? And more.

A very nice place to work, many happy and talented people.A large research and development facility.

Considering the events of building 500, pointing out anomalies may not advance your career.
