When you visit the Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven, the half-acre bee friendly garden planted next to the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility on Bee Biology Road, UC Davis, don't expect to see just pollinators.

There are predators there, too.

Plant a garden and the pollinators and predators will come.

We spotted this immature praying mantis perched on top of a spiked Cleveland sage blossom, aka blue sage  (Salvia clevelandii), waiting for a take-out dinner.

This little camouflaged insect looked like part of the plant.

Which is the plan!

No insects were harmed in the making of this photograph. We can't vouch for what happened after we left, though. 

If you want to visit the bee garden, it's open from dawn to dusk. Admission? Free.
