Every time we go into the garden store I see the praying mantis egg sacs in the refrigerator and I think that would be fun to do. Well then I finally did it. We bought two praying mantis egg sacs and I hung one in the front yard and one in the backyard. Last weekend while gardening I came across this Praying Mantis. Is it one of the hatched babies? I don’t know, she or he was definitely different then the mantis’ I have seen before, so maybe it is!
