:) Thank you
You have a great eye.
Me either other than someone else's spotting a while ago. I'm hoping to catch them emerging but I only walk there once a week.
very interesting! I had never seen them before
Hi Karen, I was wondering if that's what it was. Thank you! This was three bushes over from where I found the pregnant mantis two weeks ago.
mantis egg case, although I couldn't tell you the species
