Praying mantis have hatched

[cynthiafu]

So the daycare kids always want to hatch or grow something so this year again we have hatched out praying mantis . Oh and eggs are in the incubator. They will hatch in 9 days.

Yes loss allot of cases(eggs) when clearing fields . I love walking and looking for them . This is what they look like .  They can have up to 300 babies inside . We have one more to hatch . Then I let them go in my garden .or wherever I found the case.

Very interesting and cool insect!

They sure look cute and cuddly now, but in just a few short months they'll be biting the heads off their mates after knockin' the Mantis boots,lol

Many species of insects are “cool”... especially the social types such as honeybees, termites, carpenter bees, ants, etc.

I still get excited when I find one.

I have always hoped to find a Walking Stick (insect), but have yet to. A friend found one of all places, on his car one morning.

Bugs can be very cool. But only if they stay out of my house.
