True that, Carol. Serendipity!
Excellent! We were in the right place at the right time for these type of spots.
Absolutely, something's cooking... (young mantises)
Aw it's laying eggs! Looks like something frothy which sets up later.
I've seeing a lot of these mantis egg cases, but I never saw either a female laying them or hatchlings.
Great timing! Thanks for posting.
Wow, I have never seen them lay their eggs.
Grandioso !!!
A rare sight
