the baby mantids hatched yesterday-
So about 2 months ago I found this weird thing under my rocking chair outside. It turns out this is a mantid egg case! So every other time I would take Mitzu outside I would check and check to see if anything came out of it...and nothing. Finally I gave up thinking it was a dud or maybe not even an egg case! Then...yesterday...I went outside mid-afternoon to see bugs all over my rocker. Well, they weren't just any bugs! They were baby, itty bitty mantids!!!!! I ran for my camera, took lots of photos and even some video! This one was on my arm!!! on top of the rocker! upside down on a flower!
