While trimming the bushes out front, we found a praying mantis egg nest. We collected it off our scrap limbs and put it in a bowl and left in on our porch. The boys watched it everyday to see if anything was happening. One morning I heard this squeal and we all ran to look at the bowl. They had hatched! There were thousands of them! Since the bowl was outside I just opened the top, put in back in the bushes, and they were able to scatter all over the tree again. It was pretty cool. Science really is EVERYWHERE!
