Praying Mantises



When we ordered our caterpillars I also ordered a praying mantis egg sac. Here are the babies. I didn't know there would be so many. I bought one of these at Home Depot about 1 1/2 years ago & the directions said to pin it to a tree which we did. Now I know why we never saw them the 1st time. If you are not right there to see them the moment they come out you never will. We let them go the same night they came out. Hopefully they find enough to eat around our yard to stay.
