We went out to fertilize the new dogwood trees, and when I looked up I saw this!!!  I knew that the praying mantis egg case was on the branch, so I just looked up to see it, and THIS is what I saw!!!  Babies emerging all over the egg case.  And going in all directions.

 

We had to stop what we were doing, and investigate this.  Remember how small the egg case is?  2 inches, max.  And I told you there are 50 -100 praying mantis babies in there?  Well, here is the proof!!!  First time I've ever seen this.  

 

We couldn't wait to check on the other ones.  There's one in the Rosemary, and another one in the sage.  Neither of them are "ripe" yet.  We'll have to keep checking back.  It is SO exciting!!!   And Amazing!!!

 

HAPPY SPRING!!!
