My Praying Mantis Egg Case Adventure

[isabel95]

Very recently joined CNPA in the Asheville area and would like to share a very enjoyable experience I had when I ordered a "Praying Mantis Kit" and Egg Case (ootheca) to hatch.

Not only did it fulfill grandmotherly nurturing needs (so far have only grandbeagles and grandsphynxcats, but it also gave me macro challenges.

The gallery with my efforts can be found here:

Thank you, Robert.
I'm hoping to see some before the cold weather sets in.
Planning to try another case next spring.
