I got some Praying Mantis egg cases and put them in jars and wait to release them until they hatch. Today one of the jars was full of newly hatched Praying Mantises. I quickly sprinkled them throughout the landscape, hoping some live to adulthood.

Mantis Hatch
One of my Mantis egg cases hatched in the jar they were in. There were a lot of newborn Praying Mantises, ready to be released onto my Oasis.

I have been buying mantis egg cases the past few seasons to help with insect pests. The female mantises made a lot of egg cases last fall. Now that the leaves have fallen off the bamboo, I can see these Asian insects spent some time in this familiar grass.
Parenthood
This spring I got some mantis egg cases. Now I have seen one of the praying mantises all grown up.
