Egg sac

I hope to take a picture of the hatching event. Will check on it everyday if possible.

Second day: actual hatchling poking out of the sack.

    Cool find, Stephen!
    Quick tip on embedding other images: you need to use the URL that ends with ".html", so the long format of the image URL. You'll find it when clicking a thumb. Bit weird, but it explains why your link above does not render into a thumbnail.     Posted 7 years ago

The Carolina Mantis

The Carolina mantis is a praying mantis that is one of six species found in North America. Sexual cannibalism occurs in roughly one quarter of all intersexual encounters of this species, though specimens of this species will engage in cannibalism regardless of age or gender if the opportunity presents itself.
