Praying mantis. From an egg sack purchased at a store. The pictures show them hatching and as they grew. They started looking like tiny brown grass leaves. They are just now (a month later) showing some green. I do not know the scientific name.
Currently residing in out raised garden beds.
The pictures detail their growth over the first month of life.

Looks good, now!! Downloading more than one image(which I do) at a time, super slow connection(which I sometimes have), connection timing out(happens to me all the time), will all cause that issue. You fixed it well :)
When I created the post, number 4 was the first I downloaded. I don't know how they got mixed up with the duplication. I attempted to correct.
Make #4 your first and number 2 your second. They are the best of the series, Purists will recommend that you split the spottings. Oh and 1 and 6 are the same(5 is generallly all the system will let me add, before it starts kicking some off and doubling others)
I wonder if this is our native mantis, or if it qualifies for the Away from home mission?
