Preying together


Our preying mantis egg case hatched today -- now we have oodles of tiny little mantids. We put them in the compost heap, hoping that there are enough tiny bugs there for at least a few of them to thrive. Last year, the case hatched more on the second, and just a few more in the third day after the main hatch, so we'll be checking again tomorrow morning.
