Our praying mantis hatched
We got the egg case in the mail on Friday. The directions said they would hatch in 3 to 6 weeks... so last nite when I looked at them and they were already hatching in only 3 days. I guess they like the hot weather we are having too.... Actually we have studied them and they are a very good bug to have in your garden. They eat lots of aphids which are not good ones to have in a garden....we had hundreds of babies....

I just ordered one of these for my class! They are really neat to watch hatch and we're going to hold onto one for a while to feed and watch grow then release the last week of school.
