A pavillion is a large net tent, basically. Never thought about putting praying mantis in the house! Course, my rat terrorists would have a field day! LOL They hate little things that move.

Vaccuumming white flies—I never would have thought of that! They’re so numerous here I’m not sure there’s a vaccuumm large enough!

Thanks for explaining the net tent/pavilion.

Guess it is the kid in me, Lady Bugs and Mantis are caught and brought in, if there is something to eat for them.

Here the Mantis will get in on their own, they are attracted to lights, and there are always bugs around the lights.

I remember playing with bugs as a kid, had to watch them do their ‘thing’.
