Aren't these just the coolest looking insect ! That's the quickest way I know to get my husband out in the yard, to tell him I've just spotted a praying mantis, he loves them also. Bonus is, the praying mantis just love my aphids.!

Their eggsacks are very pretty looking. When younger, my sister brought one into the house... My mom, not knowing what it was, put it on display. When it hatched, there were millions of baby matis' allllllll over the house. My mom now has a phobia of them..

Very funny Lainedru.......I've heard that happen to a lot of people !

Lori, I've only ever found 1 egg case here and that was years ago. BUT I was at my friend's house Tuesday and she always finds bunches of them in her yard. She showed me one bush that had 4 on it ! So she gave me one. I placed it outside on a bush. I'll go out right now and take a pic of it and post it for you. I'm hoping that I get to see the little babies hatch out this spring.
