Several years ago I came across a similar pod and brought it into my office. Unlike you, however, I didn't put it into any sort of containment, so when mine hatched, they covered the window screen - hundreds of them! Next time, I'll use a container!

Nice blog, btw.

Kolby,

This post inspired me to offer my finger tip to a small praying mantis I found on a recent outing. That resulted in one of my favorite shots to date. Here it is.

Hey Tom,

No, I didn't keep any. I'm hoping to find one or two later this year outside for a reunion photo shoot. :)

Very cool, Peter! Some of those mantises are out of this world!

Wow, exciting stuff. Are you rearing a few to photograph as it gets bigger?

Praying Mantises are my favorite insect! You should see some of the amazingly beautiful variety there are out there in this world. There's lots of pictures on my Fan page for them on Facebook! http://www.facebook.com/pag...
