Mantis Love
We found a praying mantis egg case as we walked across the field behind my house this afternoon. If you'd like to see what it's going to look like when several hundred baby praying mantises emerge from that little egg case, check out this video: Praying Mantis Life Cycle. The egg case shown is from a slightly different type of praying mantis than the one we found today--that's why the egg case is a different shape.
