MAMA PRAYING MANTIS LAYING EGGS!!!

in hive-174578 •  3 years ago 

I've never seen this before!

While I was cutting up some firewood earlier, I rolled a little log and saw a Praying Mantis. Then, I noticed something special about it. It was a female who was laying eggs! I've found the mantises before and the egg sacs, but I never saw one making her egg sac. This was a rare treat, and I was able to photograph some of the process. Enjoy the photos!
