Praying Mantis laying Eggs

Description:

Small Praying Mantis, around 5-6 cm in size. Saw her while she was in the midst of laying her Eggs in the Ootheca she had made. It was found on a low leaf, around 30 cm above ground, Pic #1, a bit difficult to take picture of, so I turn over the leaf (without breaking it) to take more pics (#1, #2 & #3) and she just continued to lay her Eggs.

Wow...I had no idea praying mantis built a little "holder" for their eggs. How 'bout that. Thank you for sharing Albert :)
