New York PostMark Willis, professor of biology, cautioned people to keep an eye out for praying mantises that may be living inside their Christmas trees. “The females will lay their eggs on any kind of plant,” he said. “It’s not like they’re seeking out pine trees to lay their eggs on. It’s a very rare occurrence, but sometimes it happens.”
