Hi

 

Yes, thats a mantis, we get quite a few, not harmful though.

 

There are a few things to watch out for apart from the obvious snakes that generally disappear once you start making a noise; they are:

 

1. Processional caterpillars, large orange & black very furry catapillars which make small nests in pine trees & form a procession when they move on, if touched the furry bits can cause breathing difficulties and bring on severe athsma attacks to those vulnerable.

 

2. Frelons a very large wasp whose sting can cause anaphylactic shock & kill vulnerable people.

 

3. Scorpions, but havnt seen any yet, grow & dry lavender (as in 'A Good Year') it does work to deter them.

 

GIYF for more

 

We have an Aspivenin which is a syringe & sucker for removal of poison from stings & bits & actually used yesterday when out walking we discovered a wasps nest.

 

Take care

Those caterpillars are nasty little buggers, local trick is to knock the nest down and burn it.

Also have one of those sucker things too. Not needed it yet though.

I think by far the most dangerous thing in France are the Sans Permis drivers, I'd deal with any snake rather than be in the line of fire of a little Axiom.

Had one visit me on Monday whilst connie bashing (topping) then looked down and saw two young in a nest a couple of feet below my line....thought we were out of nesting season!

 

They can raise broods through the year because of their ability to regurgitate a form of milk for the squabs
