Great pictures! I have a hatching egg sac as my background on my laptop with 11 new babies on it. I got my first egg sac at a gardening center while I was in college. It was amazing to see those perfect tiny mantids! Now I want to find a place to get a few more egg sacs! It's kind of strange that I went from studying entomology to loving carnivorous plants...
thanks angelazh,
it is very easy to love both the insects and the carnivorous plants. The mantids are also predators on other insects anyway. I did wonder what those tiny baby mantids feed on! I hope I gave them their best chance by putting them into my shade house where their mother had deposited the egg sac. I have not noticed any mantids since that day,

A wonderful story in picture you have told. Praying mantises have fascinated me from childhood. Their big eyes look over to you as if they know who you are, don't you think? Thank you for the day's delight!
